HB 849 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH CARE/FACILITIES: Provides relative to healthcare outcomes for patient's suffering with behavioral health issues

This bill amends existing legislation to improve healthcare outcomes for patients dealing with behavioral health issues. It does so by incorporating specific changes to the text of a previous Senate amendment, which was approved by the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare. The measure focuses on refining the language of the original proposal rather than introducing entirely new policies. As a procedural amendment, it adjusts the wording of an already adopted bill to ensure clarity or alignment with committee recommendations.
