Local governments face cyber aid repayment rules

Beginning August 1, 2026, Louisiana’s emergency preparedness office can set cybersecurity standards and eligibility rules for state help after cyber incidents. These rules cover local governments and other political subdivisions seeking help, and must include technical practices meeting national cybersecurity standards. The office can contract to provide services to governments that do not meet the standards. Those governments must repay the service costs; the law sets no dollar amount. The office can transfer rulemaking authority to another state agency and use emergency rules to start the program. Rulemaking must follow the state Administrative Procedure Act.
