Measure design
Senate Bill 130, passed by the Louisiana State Senate on May 13, 2020, was designed to ask the voters in each of Louisiana's 64 parishes whether or not to authorize sports betting within the parish. If a majority of voters in the parish support authorizing sports betting, sports betting would be allowed in the parish after state laws are passed providing for the regulation of such activities.[1]

Background
2018 fantasy sports parish referendums
The Louisiana Legislature referred similar measures to parish ballots in 2018 to authorize fantasy sports contests. In 2018, House Bill 484 (HB 484) provided for the fantasy sports parish ballot measures. In parishes that approved the measure, online fantasy sports contests, including daily fantasy sports (DFS), were permitted. In parishes that rejected the measure, online fantasy sports contests continued to be prohibited. Voters in 47 parishes approved measures authorizing fantasy sports. Voters in 17 parishes rejected the measures.
HB 484 defined fantasy sports contests as simulation sports games played through the internet or mobile devices in which participants create teams based on the current rosters of actual amateur or professional sports teams and win prizes and awards. The bill allowed the Louisiana Gaming Control Board to license and regulate fantasy sports contests.
Path to the ballot
- See also: Legislatively referred state statute

The Louisiana State Senate passed the bill in a vote of 29-8 on May 13, 2020.
