The proposed legislation enacts a new provision under R.S. 18:1461.7(A)(10) that explicitly prohibits any form of betting or wagering related to elections in Louisiana. This includes a range of activities such as making offers to bet, accepting bets, taking a monetary interest in bets, providing funds for others to bet, and any actions that would involve a person in a bet or wager concerning an election.

The bill aims to ensure the integrity of the electoral process by criminalizing these activities, thereby preventing any potential manipulation or corruption associated with betting on election outcomes. The inclusion of detailed definitions of prohibited actions underscores the seriousness of the offense and the state's commitment to maintaining fair elections.
