This bill enacts a new provision in the Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics, specifically R.S. 42:1121(B)(3), which addresses the ability of certain individuals to provide services after their public service has ended. The primary focus of this legislation is to create an exception for former sexual assault nurse examiners, allowing them to render services on a contractual basis to their previous public employers without violating ethical guidelines.

The new legal language clarifies that the restrictions typically placed on former public servants do not apply to sexual assault nurse examiners, thereby enabling them to continue their important work in supporting victims of sexual assault even after leaving their public service roles. This change aims to ensure that these professionals can maintain their expertise and provide necessary services without facing legal or ethical barriers.
