BATON ROUGE - District 26 Senator Nick Gautreaux strongly believes that deadbeat parents who win big at Louisiana casinos should do the right thing and make good on their obligation to pay child support.

To that end, he introduced Senate Bill 53 to allow the state to seize the casino winnings of a deadbeat parent when the winnings are $1,200 or more and give the dollars to the families owed the child support.

The legislature finally approved the measure with bill now headed to Governor Jindal for consideration.
