House Bill No. by Representative Stagni aims to re-create the Department of State Civil Service and its associated statutory entities, extending their operational authority until July 1, 2033. The bill amends R.S. 49:191(4) to change the termination date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2032, for the Department of State Civil Service and all statutory entities under it. Additionally, it repeals R.S. 49:191(1)(d) in its entirety, thereby streamlining the re-creation process and superseding existing sunset law provisions that require separate bills for each statutory entity's re-creation.

The re-creation of the Department of State Civil Service will take effect on June 30, 2026, and the bill outlines that all statutory authority for the department and its entities will cease on July 1, 2033, unless the department is re-created again before that date. This legislative action is intended to ensure the continued operation of the Department of State Civil Service and its statutory entities while providing a clear timeline for their review and potential re-creation in the future.
