House Bill No. by Representative McMakin amends R.S. 43:24(C) concerning the duties of the secretary of state related to the Official Journal of the State. The bill modifies the requirement for the secretary of state by replacing the phrase "take all necessary actions to cause" with "transmit" regarding the acts and joint resolutions of the legislature. Additionally, it removes the stipulation that these acts and resolutions be made accessible on the internet website or portal of the Official Journal of the State, instead focusing on the transmission of these documents within established time limits.

The proposed law retains several aspects of the existing law, including the procedures for the governor and chief clerical officers to transmit bills to the secretary of state and the requirements for the publication and delivery of acts. The changes aim to streamline the process by which legislative acts and resolutions are handled, ensuring they are transmitted to the Official Journal of the State in a timely manner without the previous emphasis on internet accessibility.
