Governor Jeff Landry has issued an executive order mandating that all employees within Louisiana's state government return to work in designated offices by July 1, 2025. This decision aims to enhance productivity and teamwork, which Governor Landry believes suffered during the remote work era initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic. While exceptions to this directive may be made, the new policies will be developed by the Commissioner of Administration, Taylor Barras. The directive does not extend to public universities, which are encouraged to follow suit voluntarily.
