This bill amends and reenacts various provisions related to the Louisiana Governor's Mansion Advisory Commission, including its establishment, jurisdiction, membership, and powers. Notably, the commission's name is changed to include "Advisory," and its purpose is clarified to focus on providing recommendations for the protection and enhancement of the governor's mansion and its surroundings. The bill also specifies the commission's jurisdiction over public areas of the mansion while removing references to private areas, and it updates the membership structure, allowing for the appointment of the governor's spouse's chief of staff or the executive residence director.

Additionally, the bill introduces exemptions from the Public Records Law and Open Meetings Law for the commission's meetings and records, ensuring confidentiality in its operations. It repeals a previous statute (R.S. 25:1016) and enacts new provisions that outline the commission's responsibilities, including making recommendations for improvements, conducting audits, and assisting in the transition between governors. The effective date of the bill is contingent upon the governor's signature or the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature.
