HB 22 enacts R.S. 18:1300.27, authorizing Concordia Parish’s governing authority to hold a one-time referendum on permitting video draw poker devices, as regulated under state law (Title 27, Chapter 8). The election, funded by the parish, must occur between 45 days and 6 months after adoption of an ordinance or resolution, following Louisiana’s Election Code. A majority “yes” vote allows video poker operations; a “no” vote bans them. The Louisiana Gaming Control Board must be notified of the result. Municipalities within the parish can still enact local bans regardless of the outcome.
- Process: The parish sets the date and ballot wording; the election aligns with R.S. 18:402(F) dates.
- Outcomes: Approval permits video poker; rejection prohibits licenses and operations.
- Limits: Only one election is allowed, but municipalities retain autonomy to prohibit video poker locally.
- Cost: Concordia Parish covers expenses.
- Could boost local revenue if approved, but risks social concerns (e.g., gambling addiction). Municipal opt-outs may create regulatory inconsistencies.
