Senate Bill No. by Senator Jackson-Andrews seeks to amend Louisiana's sports betting laws by removing sports-related proposition betting from the definition of permitted sports wagers. The bill specifically prohibits both proposition bets and micro-bets, which are defined as live wagers on specific outcomes during an ongoing sports event. The existing definition of "sports wager" will be updated to exclude proposition bets, while new definitions for "proposition bet" and "sports micro-bet" will be added to clarify these terms.

The bill also introduces limitations on wagering by explicitly stating that no sports wagers may be accepted or paid by any operator on proposition bets or sports micro-bets. This legislative change is set to take effect on August 1, 2026, and aims to regulate the types of bets that can be placed in the state, ensuring that only certain forms of sports wagering are permitted.
