HB 903 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

MUSEUMS/STATE MUSEUM: Provides relative to the position of museum director for the Louisiana State Museum

This bill modifies the hiring process for the director of the Louisiana State Museum by allowing the selection committee to consider up to three candidates instead of a fixed number. The change is a minor procedural adjustment that gives the committee slightly more flexibility when choosing a leader for the state museum. It does not alter the director's duties or the museum's funding, but it updates the specific language used to describe the candidate pool size.
