HEALTH/SICKLE CELL ANEM: Provides relative to the membership of the Louisiana Sickle Cell Commission

This bill updates the membership rules for the Louisiana Sickle Cell Commission to ensure broader representation across the state. It requires the governor to appoint thirteen members, including representatives from various regional sickle cell organizations in southern, northeastern, northwestern, central, and southwestern Louisiana. Additionally, five members must come from the Louisiana Department of Health, with specific requirements that two be patients, one be a parent of a patient, and two be medical professionals. These changes aim to include diverse geographic perspectives and lived experiences in the commission's oversight of sickle cell care in the state.
