House Concurrent Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Echols, calls for the House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice to conduct a comprehensive study of brick-and-mortar casino operations in Louisiana. This study aims to gather insights from various stakeholders, including the casino industry and the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, focusing on several key areas. These include the taxation challenges that hinder the competitiveness of Louisiana's gaming market, the factors influencing casino operators' reinvestment decisions, and the nature of business relationships between local operators and out-of-state companies.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of understanding the reinvestment projects undertaken by casino operators over the past decade and their future plans, as well as exploring innovative methods to encourage capital investment in brick-and-mortar casinos. The findings from this study are to be reported to the Louisiana Legislature before the 2025 Regular Session, ensuring that lawmakers have the necessary information to make informed decisions regarding the state's gaming industry.
