House Bill No. by Representative Domangue seeks to enhance the authority of the commissioner of agriculture and forestry concerning the regulation of imported seafood. The bill introduces a new provision, R.S. 3:4749.1(B)(7), which grants the commissioner the power to seize, hold, or destroy any seafood product that is found to be in violation of state law. This addition aims to strengthen enforcement measures related to seafood safety and compliance with existing regulations.

The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without the governor's signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution. If the bill is vetoed but later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after such approval. Overall, this legislation is designed to bolster the state's ability to manage and ensure the safety of seafood products entering the market.
