SR 134 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH DEPARTMENT: Requests the Louisiana Department of Health to conduct a comprehensive review of current sickle cell disease legislation.

This Senate Resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Health to perform a thorough review of all existing state laws regarding sickle cell disease. The goal is to determine if current rules still match modern medical standards and the actual needs of patients and healthcare providers in the state. To complete this task, the department must work with the Sickle Cell Commission, patients, and other experts before submitting a written report with findings and suggestions to state leaders. This bill does not change any laws directly but instead initiates a study to potentially update future legislation.
