House Bill No. by Representative Schlegel aims to re-create the Department of Education and its associated statutory entities, extending their operational authority until July 1, 2031. The bill establishes that the Department of Education will be re-created effective June 30, 2026, and all statutory authority for its existence will continue in accordance with Louisiana law. The bill also specifies that the termination of the Department and its entities will begin on July 1, 2030, unless the legislature enacts another bill to re-create them before that date.

Additionally, the bill enacts new legal language by adding R.S. 49:191(3)(b), which explicitly states that the Department of Education and its statutory entities will be included in the termination schedule. It also repeals R.S. 49:191(1)(g), which previously outlined different provisions related to the Department's operations. The proposed changes supersede existing sunset law provisions, streamlining the re-creation process for the Department and its entities.
