Prior law referenced video poker laws to provisions in Chapter 6 of Title 27 of the Louisiana
Revised Statutes of 1950.
New law makes technical changes to properly reference video poker laws from Chapter 6
to Chapter 8 of Title 27 the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950.
Existing law provides that all meetings of the board must be held in accordance with the
"Open Meetings Law".
Existing law provides for a record of all proceedings at regular and special meetings of the
board must be kept and open to public inspection, except as otherwise provided by law.
New law retains existing law and allows the chairman of the board to conduct an emergency
board meeting via video conference when necessary.
New law defines "video conference" as a method of communication which enables persons
in different locations to participate in a meeting and to see, hear, and communicate with each
other.
New law requires that the board post the notice and meeting agenda on its website no later
than 24 hours prior to a meeting conducted via video conference. New law further provides
that the board emails the notice and agenda to any member of the public or the news media
who requests notice of the meeting.

information regarding how the public can participate and submit comments regarding
matters on the agenda.

matter discussed in executive session, is clear and audible to everyone.
New law limits the board to conducting no more than two consecutive emergency meetings
by video conference except when the meeting is held during or subject to a gubernatorially
declared disaster.
Existing law requires the division to issue a non-gaming supplier permit to suitable persons
who furnish services or goods and receive compensation or remuneration for such goods or
services to certain licensees, the casino gaming operator, or a sports wagering operator.
