Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The
				  Louisiana Legislature has expressed its desire to establish a casino in the
				  state of Louisiana, and, to do so the Louisiana Legislature has adopted the
				  Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming Corporation Act, Louisiana Revised
				  Statutes 4:601 et seq., (sometimes hereafter referred to as the Act). In
				  adopting the Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming Corporation Act, the
				  Louisiana Legislature acknowledged that the operation of a Casino is unique to
				  state government and legislatively determined that the regulation of the casino
				  should be undertaken by a separate, independent corporate entity and not an
				  agency or political subdivision of the state of Louisiana. Consequently,
				  pursuant to the Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming Corporation Act, the
				  Louisiana Legislature created the Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming
				  Corporation (the "corporation"), which is vested with broad powers to regulate
				  the official gaming establishment casino and to oversee any and all games
				  connected therewith. The Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming Corporation
				  Act further detailed the governance and operation of the corporation by a board
				  of directors (the "board") and a president (the "president") of the
				  corporation. In accordance with the Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming
				  Corporation Act, the board hereby adopts the following corporate articles
				  setting forth certain matters appropriate to the operation of a corporation of
				  the nature of the Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming
				  Corporation.
