AI Summary
This bill:
Allows for sports wagering in Louisiana, but only in parishes that approve it through a local election. It requires the Louisiana Gaming Control Board to adopt rules to regulate sports wagering, including standards for approving sporting events for wagering, calculating revenue, and ensuring internal controls and audits are in place. The bill also prohibits persons under 21 from participating in sports wagering and bans wagers from persons who could influence the outcome of a sporting event. Additionally, it requires sports wagering certificate holders and service providers to provide certain information to patrons and integrate their surveillance and count room systems. The revenue generated from sports wagering will be dedicated to the Compulsive and Problem Gaming Fund and the Louisiana Early Childhood Education Fund.
