The bill amends and reenacts several provisions of the Louisiana Revised Statutes regarding the Empowering Families to Live Well Louisiana Council. Key changes include the replacement of the executive director of the Louisiana Budget Project with the executive director of Invest in Louisiana, and the reduction of at-large members from three to one, who will be appointed by the governor. Additionally, a new member representing Ellevate Louisiana is added to the council. The leadership structure is updated to have the chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare serve as a co-chair alongside the secretary of the Department of Children and Family Services.

The bill also modifies the meeting frequency of the council from a minimum of six times per year to at least once each quarter. The deadline for submitting an implementation plan to the Senate and House Committees on Health and Welfare is extended to June 30, 2026. Furthermore, several existing provisions related to council membership are repealed, streamlining the council's structure and responsibilities. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
