House Bill No. 256 proposes amendments to the terms of appointment for commissioners of the Louisiana Real Estate Commission. The bill changes the current term length from six years to four years, allowing each commissioner to serve two consecutive four-year terms. After serving two terms, a commissioner must wait four years before being eligible to serve again. Additionally, any current commissioner at the time the law takes effect will only be eligible to serve one four-year term and must also wait four years before being eligible for reappointment.

The bill aims to provide a more flexible and shorter term structure for commissioners, which may enhance turnover and bring in new perspectives to the commission. The effective date of the bill will be upon the governor's signature or after the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature. The amendments reflect a shift from longer tenures to a system that encourages periodic renewal of commission membership.
