Short Summary
This legal document governs the operation of riverboats in Louisiana under the authority of the Act. It applies to both applicants seeking to operate riverboats and licensees who are already operating riverboats. The document outlines the evidence that must be provided to the division, depending on whether the riverboat is operating on a certificated or non-certificated vessel, or in a facility. Certificated vessels must have a valid certificate of inspection from the United States Coast Guard, while non-certificated vessels must have a valid certificate of compliance issued by the board based on the recommendation of an approved third-party inspector. Facilities must have a valid certificate of compliance issued by the board, which requires compliance with various codes and laws. The licensee is responsible for submitting copies of all required certificates of compliance to the Senate Committee on Judiciary Section ‘B’ and the House Committee on the Administration of Criminal Justice of the Louisiana Legislature. Failure to timely submit a certificate of compliance may result in civil penalties. Overall, this document ensures that riverboats operating in Louisiana meet the necessary safety and compliance requirements.
