Senate Bill No. by Senator Barrow aims to amend and reenact specific provisions of Louisiana law regarding the management and structure of certain boards and commissions, particularly the Empowering Families to Live Well Louisiana Council and the Research Park Corporation. The bill reduces the number of board members for the corporation from a minimum of nine to seven and a maximum of twelve to nine. It also introduces new members to the board, including designees from the Baton Rouge Community College and the state representative for House District 61, while modifying the terms for elected members from three years to two years, allowing for an additional two-year term upon reelection.

Additionally, the bill updates the composition of the Empowering Families to Live Well Louisiana Council by changing the executive director's title from the Louisiana Budget Project to Invest in Louisiana and reducing the number of at-large members appointed by the governor from three to one. The council's meeting frequency is adjusted from a minimum of six times per year to at least once each quarter, and the deadline for submitting an implementation plan is extended to June 30, 2026. The bill also repeals several provisions related to council membership, streamlining its structure and responsibilities.
