RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 369 (HB 197) 2024 Regular Session Carver
Prior law (Sunset law) provided that the Dept. of Culture, Recreation and Tourism and all
the statutory entities made a part of that department by law would begin to terminate their
operations on July 1, 2024, and that all legislative authority for such entities would cease as
of July 1, 2025, unless the legislature enacted a bill authorizing the re-creation of the
department and its statutory entities prior thereto.
New law repeals prior law and provides for the general re-creation of the Dept. of Culture,
Recreation and Tourism and its statutory entities, effective June 30, 2024, in accordance with
the "Sunset" law. Supersedes the provisions of the "Sunset" law which set out the procedure
for review and re-creation and which require a separate bill to re-create each statutory entity
within the department along with additional provisions. July 1, 2029, is the new termination
date, and termination would begin July 1, 2028, unless the department is again re-created.
Effective June 30, 2024.
