HB 902 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HEALTH: Provides relative to the creation of a trauma-informed training program (EG +$210,433 GF EX See Note)

This bill makes minor formatting and punctuation adjustments to a larger legislative text regarding a trauma-informed training program. The changes include capitalizing the word "Domestic," adding a comma after "teachers," and inserting the word "or" at the end of a line. These amendments do not alter the substantive policy content but instead correct the text for consistency and clarity. The bill directly affects the administrative drafting of the legislation rather than introducing new operational requirements.

MINOR
The bill was amended to fix formatting errors and correct a grammatical inconsistency in the definition of adverse childhood events (ACEs). The change clarifies that the list of traumatic events includes 'any of the following' rather than 'all of the following,' ensuring that schools are not required to identify every single type of trauma listed to qualify for training purposes.
Scope change
The scope of applicability remains unchanged; the bill still applies to the Louisiana Department of Health and child education personnel.
DEFINITION

Corrected the definition of adverse childhood events to state it includes 'any of the following' instead of 'all of the following,' clarifying that meeting one criterion is sufficient.

TECHNICAL

Fixed capitalization in the definition of 'Domestic violence' to match standard legal formatting.

Reorganized the order of definitions and requirements to align with the final engrossed version, removing formatting artifacts from the original draft.
