House Bill No. by Representative Green amends R.S. 24:8 to expand the authority of legislators in Louisiana to attend meetings of various entities. The bill specifies that legislators are authorized to attend meetings of state boards, commissions, agencies, committees, as well as task forces and authorities. This attendance is permitted at both public and private meetings, including those held in executive sessions.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions that allow legislators to attend meetings of any entity if any or all of its membership is subject to legislative confirmation. This change broadens the scope of entities that legislators can engage with, ensuring they have access to discussions and decisions that may impact their legislative duties. The bill retains existing law while enhancing the legislative oversight of entities requiring confirmation.
