House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to Article XII, Section 6(A)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, which aims to allocate certain lottery proceeds specifically for the benefit of Louisiana resident military veterans and their families. The amendment allows the legislature to create a new lottery game, with the proceeds from this game directed towards supporting veterans, in addition to the existing appropriations for the minimum foundation program and services related to compulsive and problem gaming.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026. If approved, it will enable the legislature to establish a new lottery game, thereby expanding the use of lottery proceeds to include direct support for veterans and their families, while retaining the current provisions regarding the minimum foundation program and limits on appropriations for problem gaming services.
