DIGEST
Walsworth (SB 520)
Present law relative to the Unified Command Group (UCG), requires the three permanent
subcommittees of the UCG, comprised of the "interoperability subcommittee," the "first
responders subcommittee," and the "regional parish OEP parish directors subcommittee,"
to submit a semi-annual report to the governor and the UCG by January 1st and July 1st of
each year.
Proposed law requires the three permanent subcommittees of the UCG to submit an annual
report to the governor and the UCG instead of a semi-annual report.
Effective August 15, 2010.
(Amends R.S. 29:725.6(B)(6)(a)(ii)(ee), (b)(ii)(cc), and (c)(ii)(cc))
