HB 220 Original 2018 Regular Session Jefferson
Abstract: Re-creates the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
Present law (Sunset) provides that the Louisiana Workforce Commission and all the statutory entities
made a part of that department by law shall begin to terminate their operations on July 1, 2018, and
that all legislative authority for such entities shall cease as of July 1, 2019, 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 Louisiana Workforce Commission and its
statutory entities, effective June 30, 2018, in accordance with the sunset law.
Proposed law supersedes the provisions of the sunset law which set out the procedure for review and
re-creation and which require a separate bill to re-create each statutory entity within the department
along with additional provisions.
Proposed law makes July 1, 2023, the new termination date and termination would begin July 1,
2022, unless the department is re-created again.
Effective June 30, 2018.
