Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 49:191(4) and to repeal R.S. 49:191(1)(d), relative to the Department of State Civil Service, including provisions to provide for the re-creation of the Department of State Civil Service and the statutory entities made a part of the department by law; to provide for the effective termination date for all statutory authority for the existence of such statutory entities; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill re-creates the Department of State Civil Service and any other statutory entities that are legally part of it, with their existence officially continuing until June 30, 2026, and their legislative authority to exist ceasing on July 1, 2033. This action is part of a process where state agencies and their associated entities are periodically reviewed for their continued necessity, a process often referred to as "sunset" legislation. The bill specifically amends a section of Louisiana law (R.S. 49:191(4)) to change the termination date for the Department of State Civil Service and its related entities from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2032, and also repeals another provision (R.S. 49:191(1)(d)). The bill also clarifies that these re-created entities can be re-established before their termination date if the legislature follows the proper procedures.
