The 2012 Regular Session of the Louisiana State Legislature will convene at noon on Monday, March 12. The topics for the session may include all issues of a general nature. Adjourn- ment is June 4.
Sunset Review is set for this year. An evaluation of the psychology board’s powers, duties, performance, and problems, along with other data, is to be presented to legislative committees for the 2012 session. The Sunset law automatically terminates the board on July 1, 2012. If the legislature views the board as worthwhile, the board is “re-created.”
The purpose of the sunset review is to eliminate inactive entities, and “The elimination or consolidation of entities, programs, or activities which duplicate other governmental entities, programs, or activities.”
According to sources the review for the psychology board should be fairly routine. However, some in the community are wary due to the issues regarding the dual regulation of psychology that occurred with Act 251.
