House Bill No. 367, introduced by Representatives Butler and others, amends the enforcement procedures of the Structural Pest Control Commission in Louisiana. The bill specifically revises the notice requirements for adjudicatory hearings held by the commission. Under the current law, the commission is required to notify alleged violators by certified mail at least thirty days prior to the hearing. The proposed changes eliminate this specific time frame and instead mandate that the notice be provided in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).

This modification aims to streamline the notification process for hearings related to civil penalties, probation, and the suspension or revocation of permits, licenses, and registrations. By aligning the notice requirements with the APA, the bill seeks to enhance the efficiency of the commission's enforcement actions while still ensuring that alleged violators receive appropriate notice of hearings.
