Adopted

Plain English: The amendment changes the original resolution to request that the Louisiana Gaming Control Board review multiple proposed acquisitions and consider their economic impact on the region.

  • Changes 'the proposed acquisition' to 'proposed acquisitions', allowing for the consideration of more than one potential deal.
  • Adds language encouraging the board to support sales and acquisitions with positive economic impacts, including job creation and community benefits.
  • The amendment removes specific lines from the original text without providing context on what was removed, which limits a full understanding of the changes made.
