Hopes are fading for the legislation to regulate daily fantasy sports (DFS) in Illinois after the measure has been placed by lawmakers in the back burner, just two days before it adjourns its spring session.

Legal Sport Report reported that Democratic Rep. Michael Zalewski – one of the bill’s sponsors – did not put HB3655 to vote in the wake of the vote-buying allegations made by Democratic Rep. Rita Mayfield.

HB33 aims to set DFS guidelines on who could participate in the contests, including barring any company employees and anyone 21. The bill also imposed taxes and licensing fees.

“So what I am going to do is, for the moment, not pursue a vote on House Bill 3655. I’m going to continue to have individual conversations with my colleagues. I am going to explain to them why this is good public policy. And I am going to live to fight another day,” Zalewski said during Sunday’s legislation hearing.
