SR 94 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH CARE: Establishes the Task Force on Obesity Care, Cost, and Value to address the chronic disease of obesity in Louisiana.

This bill creates a new Task Force on Obesity Care, Cost, and Value in Louisiana to study and address obesity as a chronic disease. The task force will include a primary care physician certified in obesity medicine appointed by the state medical society, as well as the chief executive officer of that same society. These specific additions ensure that medical professionals with expertise in obesity treatment have a direct role in the committee's work. The legislation focuses on establishing this group rather than implementing immediate regulatory changes or funding mandates.
