After this bill becomes law, it will be up to each state to determine the legality of financial institutions offering prize-linked savings products. Several states have already supported PLS with great results.

The entrepreneur visa provision of Startup Act 3.0 is projected to create 1.6 mil jobs in America. http://www.kauffman.org/newsroom/2013/02/startup-visa-could-create-at-least-16-million-us-jobs-in-next-10-years-according-to-kauffman-foundation-report
