            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 comprehensive and uniform human trafficking awareness and prevention training be 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.
