Senate Bill No. by Senator Boudreaux amends the Sanitary Code to include an additional exemption to the definition of "food service establishment." Specifically, the bill enacts R.S. 40:5.5(E)(2)(j), which states that an "adult residential care provider" will not be classified as a food service establishment under the regulations set forth by the Louisiana Department of Health.

This change is part of a broader effort to clarify the types of entities that fall under the food service establishment regulations and is set to take effect on August 1, 2026. The bill aims to streamline the regulatory framework for food service establishments by recognizing the unique nature of adult residential care providers.
