| Notes | NOTE #1: From Jan 2016-May 2018 the board was not reauthorized by Gov. Proclamation and was inactive as a result. The board was not made aware of the status until 2018. The annual reports for these years should have been marked disbanded or inactive. NOTE #2: As of January 19, 2023, there are 3 vacancies (Secretary of State designee, Statutory Designee and LA Sheriff's Association designee) on the board due to previous board members no longer being employed at the agency. The goal will be to fill the vacancies during the current year. NOTE #3: As of July 1, 2024, there is 1 vacancy on the Board (La. Sheriff's Association designee) |
