DIGEST
Heitmeier (SB 510)
Present law provides that the Department of Veterans Affairs and all statutory entities made a
part of that department by law shall begin to terminate their operations on July 1, 2014, and that
all legislative authority for such entities shall cease as of July 1, 2015, unless the legislature
enacts a bill authorizing the re-creation of the department and its statutory entities prior thereto.
Proposed law provides for the general re-creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs and its
statutory entities, effective June 30, 2014, for a four-year period, in accordance with the "sunset"
law. Supersedes that provision of the "sunset" law that requires a separate bill to recreate each
statutory entity within the department.
Effective June 30, 2014.
(Adds R.S. 49:191(7); repeals R.S. 49:191(5)(j))
