GAMING: Provides for parish elections to permit gaming
HB 72 modifies existing gaming election procedures to apply exclusively to Concordia Parish. It replaces all references to "parishes" or "each parish" in the law with "Concordia Parish," meaning only residents of Concordia Parish would be eligible to hold a local election on permitting gaming. The bill does not create new gaming rules but adjusts the current process to target this specific parish. As a procedural amendment, it affects only Concordia Parish residents and has not yet advanced beyond prefiling.
