Senate Resolution No. by Senator Mizell urges the Louisiana Department of Health to conduct a study aimed at modernizing the state's problem gambling prevention and education initiatives, particularly targeting youth and young adults. The resolution highlights the increasing exposure of young people to gambling through various platforms, including sports, online gaming, and social media, and emphasizes the potential negative impacts of problem gambling on mental health, financial stability, and academic performance. It calls for the exploration of school-based education, higher education engagement, and digital support resources to enhance awareness and promote healthier decision-making among this demographic.

Additionally, the resolution encourages the Department of Health to collaborate with educational institutions, behavioral health providers, and community organizations to develop age-appropriate educational resources that address gambling-related harms and financial literacy. It also advocates for the use of digital tools and mobile resources to facilitate prevention, self-assessment, and early intervention. The Department is required to submit a written report of its findings and recommendations to the Senate and the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library by February 1, 2027.
