FUNDS/FUNDING: Provides relative to the Louisiana Traumatic Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund. (See Act) (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

SB 11 amends state laws to rename the Louisiana Traumatic Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund and clarifies its management under the Department of Health. The bill maintains the fund's purpose of providing financial support for rehabilitation services to individuals with traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, using money collected from fees on specific motor vehicle violations like speeding and driving under the influence. It also outlines how the fund is administered, including the role of an advisory board that includes representatives from advocacy groups and survivors of such injuries. Additionally, the legislation ensures that the fund serves as a last-resort funding source after Medicare and Medicaid benefits have been exhausted.
