SR 149 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

GAMING: Requests the Senate Committee on Judiciary B and the Senate Committee on Revenue and Fiscal Affairs to meet jointly to study iGaming and report study findings to the Louisiana Senate.

This Senate resolution asks two specific committees to meet together and study the potential legalization of online gambling in Louisiana. The bill directs the Judiciary B and Revenue and Fiscal Affairs committees to investigate the economic and regulatory impacts of legal iGaming, with a deadline to submit their findings by March 1, 2025. By combining their expertise, the committees will examine how legalizing online slots and table games could affect state tax revenue and consumer protection. This measure does not change any laws immediately but instead initiates a formal review process to inform future legislative decisions.
