The bill amends and reenacts several provisions of R.S. 51:1057 concerning 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 a reduction in the number of at-large members appointed by the governor from three to one. Additionally, a new member representing Ellevate Louisiana is added to the council. The co-chair position previously held by a Senate member is now designated to the chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare.

The bill also modifies the meeting frequency of the council, changing it 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 Furthermore, several existing provisions related to council membership are repealed, streamlining the council's structure. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period if not signed.
