This bill, introduced by Senator Duplessis, amends R.S. 27:244(D)(1) concerning the operating contract for land-based casino gaming in Louisiana. It temporarily suspends the requirements outlined in paragraphs (A)(11) and (12) of the section, extending the suspension period from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025. This change aims to provide flexibility in the regulatory framework governing casino operations during this period.

The bill will take effect on July 1, 2024, unless it is vetoed by the governor and subsequently approved by the legislature, in which case it will become effective the day after such approval or on July 1, 2024, whichever is later. This legislative action reflects an effort to adapt the gaming regulations to current operational needs while ensuring oversight remains in place.
