ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Provides relative to qualifying major events in the Major Events Incentive Program (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)
HB 389 expands Louisiana's Major Events Incentive Program by adding two specific types of events to the definition of "qualified major event": (1) major sports/entertainment events or concerts at LSU's Tiger Stadium as part of the "DEATH VALLEY LIVE" series, and (2) College Football Playoff home games held at Tiger Stadium. This change directly affects LSU football events and related activities held at Tiger Stadium, making them eligible for state incentive funding under the existing program. The bill does not create new funding but clarifies which events qualify for current incentives. It focuses on defining eligibility rather than altering program administration or funding levels.
