The House Committee on Natural Resources will hear testimony concerning federal regulators' efforts to distinguish Class II gambling devices from Class III slot machines. The proposed rule changes would affect Oklahoma and its tribes more than any other state.

U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Muskogee, requested the field hearing. Boren is a member of the Natural Resources Committee, as are Tom Cole, R-Moore, and Mary Fallin, R-Oklahoma City.
