HB 607 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

LICENSING: Provides relative to locksmith licensing

HB 607 amends the locksmith licensing law by updating specific definitions and correcting line numbering throughout the text. The bill clarifies that the term "automotive" includes a broad range of vehicles such as boats, snowmobiles, and recreational vehicles, while also standardizing the spelling of "electro-mechanical." Additionally, it ensures that the abbreviation "LULA" is consistently formatted with a comma in the statute. These changes refine the legal language used to regulate locksmiths but do not alter the core requirements for obtaining a license.
