Senate Bill No. by Senator Pressly establishes the Louisiana Regulatory and Advisory Board Review Commission, which will oversee state boards and commissions related to occupational licensing. The commission is tasked with conducting sunset reviews of these boards and commissions every four years to assess their effectiveness in fulfilling legitimate health, safety, welfare, or fiduciary objectives. The bill introduces a new requirement that all statutory boards and commissions must demonstrate their necessity through this review process, or they will be terminated by July 1, 2029.

Additionally, the bill mandates that boards and commissions provide detailed operational information and identify any duplicative efforts with other entities. The commission will compile a final report with findings and recommendations for each board or commission, including proposed legislation for their continuation, modification, or termination. Notably, the bill stipulates that no funds can be appropriated to any board or commission after their termination date unless they have been re-created according to the new procedures established in the legislation.
