INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s legislative session wrapped up with little talk of this year’s biggest controversy, but don’t expect the Religious Freedom Restoration Act turmoil to go away.

Republican Gov. Mike Pence and GOP legislative leaders tried to steer clear of talking about the religious objections law after the legislative session ended last week.

The national furor over whether the law would permit discrimination against gays and lesbians caused a Statehouse scramble to quickly add nondiscrimination language to it.

Democrats plan to push next year to add protections for sexual orientation and gender identity to Indiana’s civil rights law. The issue also promises to be a factor in the 2016 gubernatorial race.

Pence says he regrets the controversy but believes the state has been able to move on.
