The bill amends several sections of the Louisiana Revised Statutes related to the Louisiana Gaming Control Board and introduces new provisions aimed at enhancing gaming regulation and addressing human trafficking. Key amendments include the establishment of human trafficking awareness and prevention training for gaming industry licensees, which will be developed in collaboration with the governor's office and industry professionals. The bill also clarifies that both the Louisiana Gaming Control Board and the state police gaming enforcement division will not be considered professional or occupational licensing boards under Title 37 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for sports wagering licenses, including provisions for reapplication if a license is surrendered or revoked. It specifies that a portion of the gaming revenue will be allocated to the Compulsive and Problem Gaming Fund, and it establishes a local allocation fund for sports wagering, which will distribute funds to parishes based on their population and approval of sports wagering propositions. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen regulatory oversight while promoting responsible gaming practices in Louisiana.
