HEALTH: Requests the Louisiana Department of Health to study prevention and reduction of diabetes-related amputations

This resolution directs the Louisiana Department of Health to partner with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and other experts to study how to prevent and reduce diabetes-related amputations in the state. The study will examine current amputation rates, associated healthcare costs, and evidence-based strategies such as early detection, improved patient education, and expanded access to limb-saving treatments. A specialized workgroup of medical professionals and community members will guide the research, with findings and policy recommendations due to the legislature by December 1, 2026.

HR267 Engrossed → HR267 Enrolled · 3 edits · May 27, 2026

MINOR

The bill was converted from an Engrossed House Resolution to an Enrolled version, which is the final form signed by the Governor. The substantive policy content remains identical, but the Enrolled version adds a formal title page, removes the legislative digest, and includes the Speaker of the House's signature block to finalize the document for state law.

TECHNICAL

The document header and footer were updated to reflect the 'Enrolled' status, replacing the 'Engrossed' label and adding the Speaker of the House's signature area.

The legislative digest, which summarizes the bill's purpose for informational use, was removed as it is not part of the final enrolled law.

A formal title page was added to the beginning of the document, standardizing the layout for the final enrolled version.
