House Bill No. by Representative Domangue amends the criteria for the position of museum director at the Louisiana State Museum. The bill specifies that the museum director will still be appointed by the lieutenant governor from a list of three candidates nominated by a search committee. However, the criteria established by the board for this position will now include not only the requirement of a master's degree in Museum Science or a related field but also allow for relevant experience in a related field as an acceptable qualification.

The proposed changes aim to broaden the qualifications for the museum director role, ensuring that candidates with practical experience in addition to formal education can be considered. This amendment reflects a shift towards valuing diverse backgrounds and expertise in the leadership of the Louisiana State Museum, while maintaining the existing appointment process and oversight structure.
