Bill > HB151

This bill modifies Louisiana's regulations regarding non-gaming supplier permits and suitability requirements for businesses and individuals providing goods or services to gaming operators. The bill eliminates the specific "non-gaming supplier permit" and instead establishes broader suitability requirements for any person or entity furnishing services or goods to licensed gaming operators, sports wagering operators, or casino gaming operators. Under the new provisions, such persons may be subject to the board's jurisdiction and can be required to be found suitable, potentially incurring up to $250 in investigation costs. The bill also introduces a prohibition preventing gaming licensees from contracting with individuals who hold key gaming employee permits. Additionally, the legislation maintains existing requirements that employee or dealer training schools must be approved by the Board of Regents or State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, unless conducted by a licensee. The bill provides the division with discretion to waive suitability requirements in certain circumstances where such review is not necessary to protect public interest, effectively streamlining the regulatory process for supplier oversight in Louisiana's gaming industry.
