To my understanding this has been haulted by President Obama. Below is the news clipping I read regarding this from Reuters:
 
"
[FONT=Verdana]Looks like the actual enforcement of the [B]UIGEA[/B] will be put on hold for a little while longer. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]While [B]President Bush[/B]'s last minute executive order pushing the UIGEA was met with a general shrug by the online poker operators still accepting U.S. American players, [B]President Obama[/B] has put a halt to all pending W regulations. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Says Reuters:[/FONT]
[INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]President Barack Obama's new administration ordered all federal agencies and departments on Tuesday to stop any pending regulations until they can be reviewed by incoming staff, halting last-minute Bush orders in their tracks.[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]"This afternoon, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel signed a memorandum sent to all agencies and departments to stop all pending regulations until a legal and policy review can be conducted by the Obama administration," the White House said in a statement issued just hours after Obama took office.[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]The review is a tool commonly used by a new administration to delay so-called "midnight regulations" put in place by a former president between the election and Inauguration Day.[/FONT][/I]
