MILITARY AFFAIRS: Provides relative to the membership of the Louisiana Military Advisory Council. (8/1/26)

SB 317 proposes to amend Louisiana's Military Advisory Council membership rules by increasing its size from 19 to 21 members. The bill specifies that two additional positions will be added: the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs and the chair of the House Special Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs, each serving as voting members. This change directly affects how the council is structured and who participates in its meetings, which advise the state on military and veterans' matters. The council's current composition already includes the governor, adjutant general, legislative leaders, and agency secretaries. The bill focuses solely on procedural membership details without altering the council's duties or funding.
