Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 29, § 768. Termination of declaration of public health emergency

A. The state of public health emergency shall continue until the governor finds that the threat of danger has passed or the disaster or emergency has been dealt with to the extent that the emergency conditions no longer exist and terminates the state of public health or emergency by executive order or proclamation, but no state of public health emergency may continue for longer than thirty days unless renewed by the governor.

B. Either the House of Representatives or the Senate, by a petition signed by a majority of the surviving members of that house, may terminate the entire state of public health emergency or any part or subpart of the executive order or proclamation at any time. This petition terminating the public health emergency or any part or subpart of the executive order or proclamation may establish a period during which no other declaration of public health emergency may be issued. The petition terminating the state of public health emergency or any part or subpart of the executive order or proclamation, duly signed by a majority of the surviving members of the House of Representatives or the Senate, shall be transmitted to the clerk of the House of Representatives or the secretary of the Senate, as applicable, who shall transmit the petition to the governor. The termination shall be effective upon the transmission of the petition to the governor.
