Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 2, introduced by Senator Myers, seeks to amend the Louisiana Department of Health's licensure requirements for hospitals by updating the architectural standards that hospital plans must adhere to. The resolution proposes that these plans comply with the most recent edition of the Facility Guidelines Institute's Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities, rather than the outdated 2014 edition currently in use. This change is prompted by the need for hospitals to follow updated guidelines, as the Facility Guidelines Institute releases new editions every four years, with the next one expected in 2026.

The resolution also instructs the Louisiana Register to print the amendment in the Louisiana Administrative Code and ensures that copies of the revised rules are sent to the Louisiana Department of Health and the office of the state fire marshal. This legislative action reflects a commitment to maintaining modern standards in hospital design and construction, thereby enhancing the quality and safety of healthcare facilities in Louisiana.
