RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 19 (HB 641) 2015 Regular Session Guillory
Existing law provides that all electronic gaming devices on licensed riverboats and slots at
tracks live racing facilities be monitored by a central computer.
Prior law required that the central computer be located within the state police, gaming
division.
New law removes the requirement that the central computer be located within the state
police, gaming division.
New law makes technical corrections to clarify that the central computer monitoring applies
to electronic gaming devices at licensed riverboats and at live racing facilities.
Existing law provides that the office of state police may assess an annual fee to defray costs
associated with defraying the cost of maintaining the central computer system.
Prior law provided that no fee shall be imposed or collected unless the legislative committees
with jurisdiction over gaming have affirmatively approved the amount of the new fee.
New law changes prior law to provide that the legislative committees with jurisdiction over
gaming shall only be required to affirmatively approve the fee if the amount of the new fee
exceeds by 50% the fee imposed during the prior year or the sum of $25.00.
Effective August 1, 2015.
