The Senate Resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Health to conduct a thorough review of existing legislation related to sickle cell disease in the state. This review aims to assess whether current laws align with contemporary healthcare needs and service delivery systems for individuals living with sickle cell disease. The resolution highlights the recognition of sickle cell disease by national health organizations and the need for improved access to treatments, as well as the historical barriers faced by patients in Louisiana, including limited healthcare access, underfunded programs, and stigma.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for collaboration between the Louisiana Department of Health, the Louisiana Sickle Cell Commission, and various stakeholders, including individuals with sickle cell disease and relevant professionals, to gather insights and recommendations. The Department of Health is tasked with submitting a report detailing the findings and suggestions for enhancing healthcare access, quality, and supportive services for sickle cell disease, ensuring that Louisiana's policies meet current demands and align with national best practices.
