HEALTH/SICKLE CELL ANEM: Requests that the Louisiana Department of Health review sickle cell disease legislation

This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Health to review all existing state laws related to sickle cell disease to see if they still meet current medical needs and service requirements. The bill requires the department to work with the Sickle Cell Commission, patients, and other experts to evaluate how well current policies address care access, treatment quality, and support services. If the review finds gaps, the department must provide recommendations to the governor and legislature by February 14, 2025, to update statutes and improve care for individuals living with the condition.
