This bill amends and reenacts various sections of Louisiana law concerning the governance of certain boards and commissions, specifically focusing on the Empowering Families to Live Well Louisiana Council and the Research Park Corporation. Key changes include a reduction in the number of board members for the Research Park Corporation from a minimum of nine to seven and a maximum from twelve to nine. Additionally, the bill introduces new members to the board, such as the designee of the chancellor of the Baton Rouge Community College and the designee of the state representative for House District 61, while also modifying the terms of elected members from three years to two years, with the possibility of re-election for an additional two years.

Furthermore, the bill revises the composition and meeting frequency of the Empowering Families to Live Well Louisiana Council. It replaces the executive director of the Louisiana Budget Project with the executive director of Invest in Louisiana and reduces the number of at-large members appointed by the governor from three to one. The council is now required to meet at least once each quarter instead of six times a year, and the deadline for submitting an implementation plan has been extended to June 30, 2026. Several provisions related to council membership have also been repealed, streamlining the governance structure.
