SEAFOOD: Provides relative to seafood safety. (gov sig) (EN INCREASE GF EX See Note)
SB 40 amends the Louisiana Seafood Safety Act to clarify administrative roles within the state's health oversight system. The bill makes minor text changes to remove redundant language and establishes a specific task force to support the commission, with the Senate Health and Welfare Committee chairman serving as its leader. These adjustments aim to streamline how the state manages seafood safety regulations without altering the core safety standards themselves.
