The bill, HB 690, directs the Surgeon General of Louisiana to draft and implement rules for the administration of medical activities under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the healthcare community. It emphasizes the need for these rules to promote access to EUA-authorized products and protections, particularly focusing on underserved and rural communities. The Surgeon General is also required to coordinate with specific agencies and organizations during the rule development process. The proposed law mandates that the rulemaking process must commence no later than six months after the bill's effective date.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the rules will cover various aspects of healthcare operations during health emergencies, including safe administration procedures, informed consent, adverse event reporting, training, equitable access, transparency, and compliance. Notably, the bill adopts several Senate amendments that enhance coordination and access provisions while rejecting amendments that would have changed the terminology from "rules" to "protocols." The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or the lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
