Inquiries related to these rulemaking projects should be directed to Mr. Jared Granier, Executive Director of the Board, at director@lsbvm.org. The rulemaking review process from Notice of Intent to a promulgated Final Rule can take 6 to 12 months [R.S. 49:968(H)(1)]. The APA Guide (click here to view) gives the list of various actions and steps that must be completed through the review process.
