This bill amends R.S. 49:977.3(C) to update the procedures for the administrative revocation, suspension, annulment, or withdrawal of licenses in Louisiana. The key change is the addition of provisions allowing agencies to provide notice to licensees not only by mail but also through electronic means as prescribed by the agency. This aims to modernize communication methods and ensure that licensees are adequately informed of any actions that may affect their licenses.

The bill maintains the requirement that licensees must be given an opportunity to demonstrate compliance with lawful requirements before any revocation or suspension can occur. Additionally, it preserves the provision that allows for emergency actions if public health, safety, or welfare necessitates immediate action, enabling summary suspension of a license pending further proceedings. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the licensing process while ensuring due process for licensees.
