HB 61 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

VETERANS: Provides relative to National Guard death and disability benefits (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

HB 61 is a procedural bill that amends the text of an existing state law regarding National Guard death and disability benefits. The legislation does not create new benefits or change how benefits are calculated; instead, it simply updates the legal citation within the current statute to include a specific introductory paragraph. Because the bill only corrects a reference and contains no new policy provisions, it has no direct impact on veterans or their families.
