House Resolution No. by Representative Lafleur urges the House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice to study the feasibility and revenue-generating potential of selling lottery tickets online in Louisiana. The resolution highlights the significant revenue generated by the Louisiana Lottery Corporation, which supports K-12 public education and local philanthropic initiatives. It notes that other forms of gaming, such as sports wagering, are now available online, and that nineteen other states have successfully implemented online lottery ticket sales.

The resolution requests that the committee analyze the processes of these other states, consider the use of existing contracts instead of procuring new vendors, and assess which approach would maximize revenue for Louisiana. The committee is tasked with reporting its findings to the Louisiana Legislature before the 2026 Regular Session, ensuring that the state can explore new avenues for funding education and other public services. Additionally, the resolution mandates the submission of a print and electronic copy of the report to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library.
