SB 332 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY: Repeals the Occupational Licensing Review Commission. (1/1/25) (EN SEE FISC NOTE SD EX)

This bill repeals the Occupational Licensing Review Commission, effectively ending its operations and removing its authority to oversee occupational licensing standards. The legislation directly impacts the state agency that previously managed these reviews and the professionals who relied on its regulatory framework. It includes a provision to set the law's effective date as January 1, 2025, unless the governor vetoes it, in which case the repeal would take effect immediately after legislative approval. By eliminating the commission, the bill alters the administrative structure for occupational licensing within the state.
