Senate Bill No. 336, introduced by Senator Luneau, seeks to enhance the enforcement capabilities of the Attorney General regarding civil investigative demands under the Medical Assistance Programs Integrity Law. The bill introduces new provisions, specifically R.S. 46:438.9 and 438.10, which detail the process for issuing civil investigative demands that require individuals or entities to provide relevant documentary material, information, or physical evidence. These demands must include a general description of the subject matter and set a return date of at least twenty days after service. The bill also mandates that the production of materials be certified under oath and establishes conditions under which the Attorney General can compel compliance through court orders.

Additionally, the bill allows for investigative depositions, enabling the Attorney General to issue subpoenas for testimony from individuals or entities with relevant information. It ensures that deponents are informed of their right to counsel and outlines the procedures for serving subpoenas. The legislation protects the confidentiality of materials produced in response to demands, exempting them from public disclosure unless otherwise determined by the Attorney General. It also allows for the sharing of information with other governmental entities involved in investigations or prosecutions. The law defines "documentary material," permits individuals to seek modification or dismissal of demands through court petitions, and establishes penalties for non-compliance with subpoenas. The effective date for this law is set for August 1, 2026.
