An Internet poker licensing bill gets its first look today in the Senate's Judiciary Committee.

Committee members say up until now -- they haven't gotten a lot of feedback about the proposal. But they're likely to get a lot of it today.
Devils Lake Senator Jack Traynor is the committee's chairman, and he says he knows very little about Internet poker. He says he's looking forward to hearing the arguments.

Grand Forks Senator Nick Hacker is also a committee member. He says he has his doubts about the bill.
He says the industry is already competitive, and the bill assumes poker sites are willing to pay to locate in North Dakota.
