HB 367 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

PESTICIDES/HERBICIDES: Provides for the enforcement procedures of the Structural Pest Control Commission

HB 367 modifies Louisiana's enforcement process for the Structural Pest Control Commission by requiring the commission to send alleged violators a 30-day certified mail notice before holding an adjudicatory hearing. This applies directly to businesses or individuals operating under structural pest control licenses who face potential penalties, license suspensions, or revocations. The bill does not change penalties or create new rules but standardizes the notification process for hearings under existing enforcement procedures.

MINOR

This bill updates the enforcement procedures for the Structural Pest Control Commission by removing a mandatory 30-day notice period for adjudicatory hearings. Instead, the commission must now provide notice in strict accordance with the state's Administrative Procedure Act, which may result in shorter or different notice timelines depending on the specific circumstances of each case. The change also updates the bill's sponsor list and finalizes its status as an enrolled act.

Scope change

The bill's scope of applicability remains the same, focusing on the Structural Pest Control Commission's enforcement of pest control regulations, but the procedural requirements for issuing hearing notices have been modified.

TIMELINE

Replaced a fixed 30-day notice requirement for adjudicatory hearings with a requirement to follow the Administrative Procedure Act, allowing for more flexible notice periods.

TECHNICAL

Updated the list of bill sponsors to include additional representatives and changed the document status from 'Original' to 'Enrolled Act No. 72'.
