The 2016 World Series of Poker isn't the only area of the industry drawing attention. This week, online poker legislation took a front seat in New York and California. In New York, Senator John Bonacic's online poker bill, S5302C, passed the state's Senate by a vote of 53-5. In California, things hit a slight setback as a vote on Assemblyman Adam Gray's online poker bill AB 2863 was postponed for the time being.
The bill in New York triumphantly passed Senate vote after earlier in the month passing the New York Senate Finance Committee with a 20-8 vote.
