Louisiana's Commissioner of Administration has continued his earlier closure order for state government offices in 27 parishes across southern Louisiana, including East Baton Rouge Parish where the Board of Pharmacy office is located. The office will remain closed through Wednesday, August 17, 2016 due to the effects of the severe weather system which passed through the area this past weekend and the associated flooding, which has now caused new emergency evacuation orders in some areas. Unless the closure order is further extended, we intend to re-open the Board office on Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 8:00 a.m.
