Wonder what lobbyist were against this?
Alton Ashy with the Video Poker Association is the main culprit. The horse lobbysists also took a part as well.

so the fantasy bill passed?
Not yet. Many reps are still trying to kill this even the we voted at the polls for it. It barely passed the house (27 voted against). It got through Senate committee today, and still has to pass the whole Senate.
Edit: The fantasy sports bill passed last year to establish a parish specific election. Since many parishes voted to allow it, a bill establishing the tax and regulatory framework needs to pass this session. Even though it's clear the citizens voted for fantasy sports, many legislators are still voting against this current bill to try and kill fantasy sports coming to LA.

The Sports Gambling TAX bill just failed in the House 49-46. It needed 70 to pass and got 65 votes just last week. fricking idiots.
You need to pass both legalization and tax bills through the House and Senate to pass.
And guess what? TAX bills can only be passed in regular session in odd numbered years.
So, that means, we can't pass the TAX bill portion in regular session until 2021.
We would have to have a special session if we want to fix this in 2020.

I think Edmonds is my state rep. He and his wife came knocking on doors when he was running.

So lobbyist and special interest have more power than the voters?
At least in the federal government, they wait until after the people vote and work with whatever the result of that may be.

Also, notice that all of the casinos in Baton Rouge started losing revenue and laying off employees after Mississippi started taking bets at casinos.
The decline started well before MS permitted sports betting.

Some are FOR the original authored bill, but they can't support the bill is the LA casino commission is against it.
could someone submit the bill in its original form and the committee vote on it or does this kill the sports betting issue for another year?

I agree with you that winnings below the 1099/withholding level aren't usually reported on a tax return by the gambler, if we are being honest.
Taxation is theft. Don't be a sucker.

I haven't been in a BR casino in a few years but I always thought it was questionable whether this market could support 3.

Good ole baptist conservatives. I cannot wait to leave this state.

No. You cannot keep submitting an issue over and over until you get the vote you want unless you're on the Baton Rouge Metro Council (screw you, Barbara Freiberg).
It's dead for two years, likely. Taxation bills in Louisiana can only originate in special sessions or regular sessions in odd numbered years.

You’re right we should just allow everyone to do whatever they want. The world would certainly be a better place.
Although we’re being left in the dust by refusing to legalize it

Once its submitted in its original form, others have the option to load it with amendments as it passes through. It had no issues until the 2,800 locations were added and passed
Posted on 5/28/19 at 5:01 pm to TigerstuckinMS
I guess technically they could pass the legalization next year but that wouldn't set up anything until the taxes are passed.
They still have until the deadline in June and a miracle to pass it. It's not officially "dead" yet

LA has a bill filing deadline, which has passed.
LA also has a "single-issue" rule which greatly limits the other current bills that could be amended to add this language.
