This bill enacts new provisions regarding the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism in Louisiana, specifically R.S. 49:191(2)(b), which establishes that the department and its statutory entities will be re-created effective June 30, 2024. It also sets a termination date for all statutory authority related to these entities, which will cease on July 1, 2029, unless re-created prior to that date. Additionally, the bill supersedes any conflicting provisions in R.S. 49:193.

Furthermore, the bill repeals R.S. 49:191(12)(b) in its entirety. The new language inserted clarifies the termination timeline for the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism and its statutory entities, while the deletion removes previous statutory language that may have conflicted with the new provisions. The act is set to become effective on June 30, 2024.
