LA Rev Stat § 24:111 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 24 - Legislature and Laws|§111. Purpose and Findings

RS 111 - Purpose and Findings  A. Louisiana has the highest adult obesity rate in the nation and the fourth highest obesity rate for children ages ten through seventeen. Obesity-related health issues plague our citizens, with Louisiana ranking fifth in the nation for adults with diabetes and fourth in the nation for adults with hypertension. The Louisiana Medicaid program alone spent more than ninety-eight million dollars in 2014 in total obesity-related payments for Medicaid-covered children and adults. In 2012, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation estimated that a cumulative five percent body mass index reduction in children and adults in Louisiana could save the state nine billion dollars by 2030.  B. The issue of obesity in Louisiana has been studied tirelessly by countless national and state entities and there is no shortage of plans, programs, strategies, and initiatives by organizations at every level, and yet obesity rates in Louisiana continue to increase every year. Our children and adults develop obesity-related chronic diseases that impact every aspect of their lives, including decreased school performance, job absences, and lack of engagement in family and community, all of which decrease quality of life and come with a significant financial impact to the state.  C. The legislature finds and declares that the greatest resource in tackling any problem that impacts a community is the community itself. The obesity crisis cannot be mandated away at the federal or state level. It must be a priority at the local level, and to that end our mayors are key to the success of any effort to first slow and then reverse our obesity rates, thereby saving money and increasing the quality of life for all of our citizens. Our mayors must be equipped with the information needed to help their constituents lead healthier lives, which will result in a more prosperous community and save the taxpayers millions of dollars related to treating preventable chronic diseases.

B.(1) The text of a law is the best evidence of legislative intent. (2)(a) The occasion and necessity for the law, the circumstances under which it was enacted, concepts of reasonableness, and contemporaneous legislative history may also be considered in determining legislative intent. (b) The legislature may express the intended meaning of a law in a duly adopted concurrent resolution, by the same vote and, except for gubernatorial veto and time limitations for introduction, according to the same procedures and formalities required for enactment of that law. C. The legislature is presumed to have enacted an article or statute in light of the preceding law involving the same subject matter and court decisions construing those articles or statutes, and where the new article or statute is worded differently from the preceding law, the legislature is presumed to have intended to change the law. D. A bill introduced but which does not become law is not competent evidence of legislative intent. Any action by the legislature other than enactment of law or adoption of a resolution as provided in Subparagraph (B)(2)(b) of this Section shall not constitute a confession as to the meaning of the law extant. E.(1) The keyword, one-liner, summary and adjoining information, abstract, digest, and other words and phrases contained outside the sections of a bill following the enacting clause are solely to provide the members of the legislature with general indicia of the content of the bill and are not subject to amendment by the legislature or any committee of the legislature and shall not constitute proof or indicia of legislative intent. (2) Fiscal and actuarial notes provide the legislature with an analysis of the potential fiscal impact of a bill based on presumptions made by the legislative fiscal officer, actuary, economist, or analyst preparing the note and shall not constitute proof or indicia of legislative intent. (3) Committee minutes are summary reports of committee proceedings and shall not constitute proof or indicia of legislative intent. (4) Words and phrases not constituting the substance of an amendment or the recommendations of a conference committee report, and any other legislative staff documents which are not subject to amendment by the legislature or any committee of the legislature, shall not constitute proof or indicia of legislative intent.
