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 populations. The Surgeon General is required to coordinate with specific agencies and organizations during the rule development process, ensuring that the rules cover essential aspects such as safe administration, informed consent, adverse event reporting, training, equitable access, transparency, and compliance.

The Conference Committee Report adopts several Senate amendments that enhance the bill's provisions, while rejecting amendments that would have changed the terminology from "rules" to "protocols." The proposed law mandates that the Surgeon General initiate the rulemaking process within six months of the law's effective date, which will take effect upon the governor's signature or the lapse of time for gubernatorial action. This legislation aims to establish a clear framework for the healthcare community to follow during health emergencies and in regular operations concerning EUA-related medical activities.
