§27.5. Uniform human trafficking awareness and prevention training
A. Human trafficking is a serious and widely recognized problem. It is imperative
for the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the state of Louisiana that a

developed for the gaming industry.
B. The board in conjunction with the governor's office of human trafficking
prevention and industry professionals shall develop and implement a comprehensive
in-person and digital human trafficking awareness and prevention training for the gaming
industry. If such development is not practical for the board, the board may approve third-party human trafficking awareness and prevention training programs. The training shall
include but is not limited to training on identifying victims of human trafficking at gaming
establishments in Louisiana.
C. The board shall adopt rules in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act
setting forth the minimum training requirements to be imposed on all licensees and
permittees that are necessary to implement the provisions of this Section. Each licensee,
permittee, and employee of a licensee or permittee shall certify participation in and
completion of the human trafficking awareness and prevention training to the division on an
annual basis as a condition of maintaining any gaming license or permit issued by the board.
