GAMBLING/CHARITABLE: Provides with respect to compensation of personnel running charitable gaming events

This bill updates Louisiana law to allow licensed charitable gaming operators to pay up to fifteen employees, such as bingo callers, a maximum of $20 per hour or $91 per session. It also permits these workers to receive meals and beverages on-site with a total value capped at $15 per person. The legislation clarifies that these payments are legal compensation for services and do not violate rules against paying commissions or salaries in gaming. Directly affected parties include organizations running events like bingo nights and the staff who assist in conducting them.
