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 amendments replace the term "non-gaming supplier permit" with "employee training; supplier suitability" and introduce new requirements for individuals and entities providing goods and services to licensed gaming operators. Notably, any person or entity that furnishes goods or services, regardless of the dollar amount, is now subject to the jurisdiction of the board and division and may be found unsuitable. Additionally, these individuals may be required to reimburse the board and division for reasonable costs incurred, capped at $250.

The bill also includes a provision that prohibits any licensed gaming operator from contracting for goods or services with individuals who hold a key gaming employee permit. Furthermore, it repeals the previous subsection R.S. 27:29.3(F) in its entirety, streamlining the regulations surrounding supplier suitability and employee training. Overall, the changes aim to enhance oversight and ensure that all suppliers meet suitability standards to protect the public interest in gaming operations.
