The Louisiana Senate Judiciary Committee recently approved a piece of violent video game legislation for debate in the state senate.  The bill, HB1381, was originally authored by Representative Roy Burrell with the help of Jack Thompson, the one-time “Man in Miami”, and vocal critic of violent video games and media entertainment.

Critics of the bill, such as New Orleans William Rittenburg, claim that it is too vague in its definition of violence. If passed, the bill would fine those who sell violent video games to minors between $100 and $1000, and in addition face serving up to a year in prison.
