RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 619 (HB 463) 2024 Regular Session Egan
Existing law ("sunset" law) provides that the Dept. of Justice and its statutory entities shall
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 Dept. of Justice and each of its statutory
entities effective June 30, 2024, in accordance with the sunset 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. July 1, 2031, is the new termination date for the Dept. of Justice, and termination
would begin July 1, 2030, unless the department is again re-created.
Effective June 30, 2024.
