LABOR: Provides relative to continuous technical corrections and revisions of provisions of Title 23 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950
HB 923 reorganizes Louisiana's workforce and social service delivery by establishing an integrated case management system. It creates a "One Door" model allowing individuals to access multiple services - like employment support, education, and family assistance - through a single entry point with coordinated case workers. The bill defines key terms like "integrated service plan" and requires agencies to streamline services across departments, reducing the need for clients to navigate separate offices. This directly affects individuals seeking workforce or social services and the state agencies (including Louisiana Works) responsible for delivering them.
