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 on providing assistance after termination of public service do not apply to these professionals, thereby enabling them to continue their important work in supporting victims of sexual assault. This change aims to ensure that former sexual assault nurse examiners can maintain their expertise and contribute to their former employers in a contractual capacity, enhancing the support available for victims in the community.
