House Bill No. 316, introduced by Representative Larvadain, amends existing laws regarding the financial disclosure requirements for members and certain employees of the Gaming Control Board and the gaming enforcement division within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. The bill establishes a new deadline for filing financial disclosure statements and affidavits, requiring that these documents be submitted no later than fifteen days after confirmation, appointment, or employment, as applicable. This change applies to board members, who must disclose their financial interests, as well as employees and agents of the gaming enforcement division, who must affirm that they and their spouses do not have economic interests in applicants, licensees, or permittees.

The bill specifically modifies the language in R.S. 27:12(B), 63(A) and (B), and 226(A) and (B) by replacing the previous requirement to file disclosures "prior to" or "at" the time of confirmation or appointment with the new requirement to file "no later than fifteen days after." This adjustment aims to streamline the process and ensure timely compliance with financial disclosure obligations for those involved in gaming regulation.
