Michigan Governor signs interstate poker bill
| By Daniel O'Boyle
Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed a bill that would allow online poker to be played across state lines.
The bill – Senate Bill 991 of the 2019-20 legislative session – would allow liquidity for poker games to be pooled with other states, or other jurisdictions such as Native American tribes, that allow the same.
Currently, Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey all offer interstate poker.
The bill was introduced by state senator Curtis Hertel and co-sponsored by Jeff Irwin, Erika Geiss, Dayna Polehanki, Paul Wojno, Jim Ananich and Adam Hollier.
