A New York daily fantasy sports bill will be introduced this week by Assemblymember Gary Pretlow.
This seems like a move that would seemingly pave the way for legalization of the industry in the battleground state.
DraftKings and FanDuel have not been operating in New York since March as a part of a settlement with Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, aimed at getting to a legislative solution on DFS.
Via Facebook, Pretlow wrote: "Legislation will be introduced and move through the committees in the next coming days. We are ensuring all consumer protections are in place before it's finalized."
When Pretlow spoke to attendees at the iGaming North America conference in early April, he had indicated a bill would be introduced by late April.
