HB 48 Original 2020 Regular Session Gregory Miller
Abstract: Removes provisions requiring Title 37 licensing boards and commissions to give notice
that complaints about actions or procedures of the board or commission may be submitted
to the board or commission or to the House and Senate governmental affairs committees and
to submit quarterly reports regarding those types of complaints to specified legislative
committees.
Present law requires boards or commissions authorized to issue a license, permit, or certificate
pursuant to present law provisions in Title 37 of the La. Revised Statutes of 1950 to notify licensees
and applicants for licenses that complaints about actions or procedures of the board or commission
may be submitted to the board or commission or to the House and Senate governmental affairs
committees. Present law further requires each such board or commission to submit quarterly reports
to the House and Senate governmental affairs committees and to the appropriate legislative oversight
committees containing specified information regarding complaints. Present law additionally requires
legislative committees, members, and employees having access to confidential, personally
identifiable, or otherwise sensitive information in those reports to protect the information from
unauthorized use and disclosure.
Proposed law repeals present law.
Effective upon signature of governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
(Repeals R.S. 37:23.2)
