Senate Bill No. 435 establishes the Louisiana Commission on Fatherhood Engagement within the office of the governor, aimed at promoting fatherhood involvement in children's lives. The commission will consist of various members, including state officials, representatives from the judiciary, and community leaders, all appointed to serve two-year terms. The bill outlines the commission's responsibilities, which include implementing recommendations from the previous Task Force on Fatherhood Engagement, raising awareness about the importance of fatherhood, and identifying resources to support fatherhood-related programs.

Additionally, the commission is tasked with organizing a state summit on fatherhood every four years and submitting an annual report to the legislature detailing the outcomes of fatherhood initiatives and funding requests for related programs. The provisions of this bill are set to terminate on January 1, 2031, and it will take effect on August 1, 2026.
