Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 29:26.1(B)(9) (introductory paragraph), relative to the Louisiana National Guard; to provide relative to definitions; to provide relative to death and disability

AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "period of activation" in Louisiana's National Guard death and disability benefits law. Specifically, it replaces the term "any state of emergency declared by the governor of the state of Louisiana" with "any period of state active duty ordered by the governor of the state of Louisiana pursuant to R.S. 29:7." This change expands the scope of the benefits to cover National Guard members during any period of state active duty ordered by the governor, rather than only during a declared state of emergency. The bill applies retroactively to deaths or disabilities occurring on or after January 1, 2024.
