HB 790 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

INSURANCE: Repeals the effectiveness provision of the insurance fraud investigation unit within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections

This bill removes the legal authority for the Insurance Fraud Investigation Unit, which is currently part of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections in Louisiana. By repealing the specific statute that established this unit, the legislation effectively dissolves the agency and ends its ability to conduct investigations into insurance fraud. The change applies to the state's law enforcement structure by eliminating the designated office responsible for this specific type of financial crime investigation.
