HB 917 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

EARLY CHILDHOOD: Provides that Act No. 84 of the 2023 Regular Session of the Legislature shall be known and may be cited as "Armani's Law"

HB 917 is a procedural amendment that changes the name of an existing early childhood education law from "Mani's Law" to "Armani's Law." This bill directly affects the official citation of Act No. 84, which was originally passed in the 2023 legislative session. The key mechanism involves two simple text edits to replace the name "Mani" with "Armani" in the statute's title and citation sections. No new policies, funding, or operational changes are introduced by this specific measure.
