House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Jackson urges the Louisiana Gaming Control Board to carefully review the proposed acquisition of Sam's Town Hotel and Casino in Shreveport by Bally's Corporation. The resolution emphasizes the importance of the gaming market to the economic vitality of the Shreveport-Bossier area, highlighting its role in regional tourism and employment. The Louisiana Legislature expresses support for the sale, contingent upon the presentation of a redevelopment and capital investment plan by Bally's Corporation and Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. that ensures the preservation and growth of economic and workforce benefits in the region.

Additionally, the resolution calls for the Gaming Control Board to engage with local elected leaders through stakeholder meetings to explore land-based redevelopment opportunities and to support local hiring and vendor participation. It stipulates that the sale should only be approved if adequate safeguards are in place to protect jobs in northwest Louisiana. The resolution also mandates that at least two public hearings be held in Shreveport before the sale's approval and requires the Gaming Control Board to compile and submit quarterly reports on the meetings to relevant legislative committees and officials until December 31, 2027.
