RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 20 (HB 192) 2024 Regular Session Miller
Prior law (Sunset) provides that the La. Dept. of Health and all the statutory entities made
a part of that department by law begin to terminate their operations on July 1, 2024, and that
all legislative authority for such entities shall cease as of July 1, 2025, 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 La. Dept. of Health and its statutory
entities, effective June 30, 2024, 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, 2029, the new termination date and termination would begin July 1,
2028, unless the department is re-created again.
Effective June 30, 2024.
