House Bill No. by Representative Domangue enacts a new provision under R.S. 3:4749.4, which mandates that retailers who purchase seafood must retain their purchase records for a minimum of six months. These records must be made available for inspection by the relevant department. The bill aims to enhance accountability in seafood transactions and ensure compliance with state regulations regarding seafood safety and quality.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations, specifically for retailers who fail to maintain the required records or who knowingly create or submit false or fraudulent purchase records. This provision is intended to deter dishonest practices in the seafood industry and uphold the integrity of seafood sales in Louisiana.
