DRUGS: Provides relative to the over-the-counter sale and purchase of the drug ivermectin without a prescription

Maddy summaryThis bill would allow licensed medical practitioners and pharmacists in Louisiana to prescribe and dispense the drug ivermectin without requiring a prior patient examination. It authorizes third parties, such as family members, to receive and administer the medication on behalf of a patient. To ensure safety, the law requires doctors to provide specific training on proper storage, usage, and emergency procedures before issuing prescriptions. The legislation also grants legal immunity from civil and criminal liability to doctors, pharmacists, and third parties acting in good faith, provided the drug is not administered through gross negligence or willful misconduct.

RETIREMENT SYSTEMS: Provides relative to public retirement system proxy voting on shareholder sponsored proposals (RE SEE ACTUARIAL NOTE FC)

Maddy summaryHB 981 amends the state's public retirement system laws to clarify how proxy voting works for shareholder proposals. The bill specifically defines what counts as a proxy advisory firm, explicitly excluding investment managers or advisors hired directly by the retirement system, plan, or fund. This change ensures that only independent third-party firms are considered when determining who can vote on behalf of the system's investments. The legislation directly affects the administration of public retirement systems by refining the rules around external voting guidance.
