Rep. Joseph Lopinto voluntarily deferred bill HB 475 bill that would have legalized daily fantasy sports after encountering opposition from lobbying groups.

In a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday, Lopinto pulled out the bill upon realizing it would have been rejected, taking if off of the committee’s schedule for this session and said that he might try again next year.

“Everything’s worth trying another year,” said Lopinto. “New elections and terms limits bring new people and new ideas.”

“I brought that bill, and obviously I know that there’s a lot of controversy that has been brought with it. I’ve been trying to work with both sides in order to make that happen, it has not happened as of yet,” Lopinto added.
