AGRICULTURE: Creates the Louisiana Commemorative Pet Stamp Program (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
HB 653 is a procedural amendment that makes a minor text correction to an existing bill regarding the Louisiana Commemorative Pet Stamp Program. The change involves inserting a period after the word "Subpart" on a specific page and line to improve the document's formatting. This adjustment does not alter the program's operations, funding, or impact on pet owners or the state budget. Consequently, the bill has no substantive policy effect and serves only to refine the legislative language.
