Description

The Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (“LSLBC”) was created in 1956 by
Act 233 of the legislature. Currently, the LSLBC is governed by Title 37:2150-2165 of the
Louisiana Revised Statutes, Chapter 24.
In the last three years, the statutes and Rules and Regulations of the LSLBC have been
revised. In 2022, the Rules and Regulations were amended and modified into five chapters ranging
from §101 to §717. In 2022, the Legislature repealed and replaced the entirety of the statutes
governing the LSLBC by reducing the number of statutes and combining a substantial number of
statutes. In 2023, the Legislature made additional changes to the statutes by listing the categories
for which licenses are required. (See La. R.S. 37:2156.2). In 2024, the statutes were amended
again to change the limits for which a license is required in Louisiana. (See La. R.S. 37: 2150.1(4),
(8), (11), and (15)). The changes will be discussed
