This bill amends and reenacts specific provisions of Louisiana's gaming law, particularly R.S. 27:29.3, which pertains to non-gaming supplier permits. The bill replaces the term "non-gaming supplier permit" with "employee training; supplier suitability" and introduces new requirements for individuals and entities that provide goods or services to licensed gaming operators. It establishes that any person or entity that furnishes goods or services, regardless of the dollar amount, is subject to the jurisdiction of the board and division and may be found unsuitable. Additionally, it mandates that such individuals may need to reimburse the board for reasonable costs incurred during the suitability process, capped at $250.

Furthermore, the bill allows the division to waive suitability requirements for certain individuals or fields of commerce if deemed unnecessary for public interest. It also prohibits any licensed gaming operator from contracting for goods or services with individuals who hold a key gaming employee permit. Lastly, the bill repeals the previous subsection R.S. 27:29.3(F) in its entirety, streamlining the regulations surrounding supplier suitability and employee training in the gaming industry.
