DIGEST
Present law requires gubernatorial appointees to the board of directors of the Louisiana
Lottery Corporation, prior to confirmation by the Senate, to disclose to the Senate and
Governmental Affairs Committee the names of all business or professional clients with
which the appointee or any corporation in which the appointee owns a controlling interest
maintains a business or professional relationship at the time of appointment.
Provides that the obligation to disclose is a continuing obligation of all members including
those serving on and after January 1, 2011. Present law specifies the manner in which the
disclosure shall be made.
Proposed law retains present law but specifies that the disclosure prior to confirmation be
made in writing to the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee and provides that
disclosures subsequent to confirmation be made in writing to the legislative auditor.
Requires the legislative auditor to report his findings to the Senate and Governmental Affairs
Committee and to the governor.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
