RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 11 (HB 91) 2020 Regular Session Bagley
Prior law (Sunset) provides that the La. Dept. of Health (LDH) and all the statutory entities
made a part of that department by law begin to terminate their operations on July 1, 2020,
and that all legislative authority for such entities shall cease as of July 1, 2021, unless the
legislature enacts a bill authorizing the re-creation of the department and its statutory entities
prior thereto.
New law provides for the general re-creation of the LDH and its statutory entities, effective
June 30, 2020, in accordance with the "sunset" law.
New 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 such statutory entity
within the department along with additional provisions.
New law makes July 1, 2025, the new termination date and termination would begin July 1,
2024, unless the department is re-created again.
Effective June 30, 2020.
