California’s online poker bill is headed for a vote on the state Assembly floor after a favorable vote by the Assembly Appropriations committee.

On Wednesday, the Appropriations committee officially approved Assemblyman Adam Gray’s AB 2863 legislation, setting up what will be the first online poker floor vote by the full Assembly, two-thirds of which need to approve the bill for it to progress to the state Senate.

The bill received only one ‘no’ vote from the committee, although several members abstained from voting, and many members who’d announced that they would be voting ‘aye’ suggested they could vote ‘nay’ on the Assembly floor if their remaining concerns weren’t addressed.

The bill received a number of amendments before last week’s Assembly committee hearing – mostly concerned with the lingering ‘bad actor’ and ‘tainted assets’ issues surrounding Amaya Gaming’s PokerStars brand – and much of Wednesday’s debate revolved around these issues.
