Florida's legislative response to ethical concerns surrounding former gambling regulator Louis Trombetta’s transition to FanDuel centers on HB 1467, a bill proposed by Rep. John Snyder. Trombetta, formerly executive director of the Florida Gaming Control Commission, aggressively targeted smaller fantasy sports operators while not issuing cease-and-desist letters to major players like FanDuel, then joined the company as a lobbyist after resigning in December 2024[1][2]. His move highlighted a loophole allowing regulators to work for fantasy sports companies immediately after leaving public roles, raising conflict-of-interest concerns[1].

The legislation aims to **extend a two-year lobbying ban** for gambling regulators working in the fantasy sports industry, closing the revolving door between regulators and the companies they oversee. It also seeks to **clarify fantasy sports' legal status**, distinguishing it from prohibited gambling activities while establishing clearer regulatory frameworks[1][2]. Critics argue the bill addresses selective enforcement practices, as Trombetta’s actions disproportionately affected smaller operators, while FanDuel and DraftKings continued operations unchallenged[1].
