The original instrument and the following digest, which constitutes no part of the
legislative instrument, were prepared by Xavier I. Alexander.
DIGEST
SB 42 Original 2022 Regular Session Ward
Present law (Sunset law) provides that the Dept. of Economic Development and all the statutory
entities made a part of that department by law shall begin to terminate their operations as of July 1,
2022, and that all legislative authority for such entities shall cease as of July 1, 2023, 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 Dept. of Economic Development and its
statutory entities, effective June 30, 2022, for a four-year period. Supersedes the provisions of the
"Sunset" law that set out the procedure for review and re-creation and that require a separate bill to
re-create each statutory entity within the department along with additional provisions.
Effective June 30, 2022.
