This bill amends R.S. 25:343(A) concerning the appointment and criteria for the position of museum director at the Louisiana State Museum. The lieutenant governor is responsible for appointing the museum director from a list of three candidates provided by a search committee appointed by the board. The appointment must occur within sixty days of receiving the candidate list.

The bill modifies the criteria for the museum director position to include not only a master's degree in Museum Science or a related field but also allows for the consideration of relevant experience in a related field. Additionally, candidates must demonstrate successful performance as skilled professionals. These changes aim to broaden the qualifications for the museum director role, ensuring a more diverse pool of candidates.
