SB 277 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

GAMING: Provides for requirements to the land-based casino operating contract. (7/1/24)

This bill amends the requirements for land-based casino operating contracts by establishing a specific effective date for the changes. It mandates that the new provisions take effect on July 1, 2024, unless the governor vetoes the legislation, in which case the effective date shifts to the day after legislative approval or July 1, 2024, whichever occurs later. The measure directly impacts casino operators and state regulators by setting a clear timeline for when updated contract rules will apply.
