House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the creation of the Louisiana Roof Registry within the Department of Insurance. This voluntary registry allows property owners and local governments to submit information related to building permits. The bill amends the heading of Chapter 14 of Title 22 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, changing it from "Joint Legislative Committee on Insurance" to "Department Programs," and introduces a new section, R.S. 22:2271, which outlines the establishment and purpose of the Louisiana Roof Registry.

Additionally, the bill empowers the commissioner of insurance to develop rules and regulations governing the registry in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. These regulations will specify the types of information that can be submitted to the registry and the purposes for which this information may be utilized. This initiative aims to streamline the process of managing building permit information and enhance the overall efficiency of the Department of Insurance.
