COASTAL RESOURCES: Approves the annual state integrated coastal protection plan for Fiscal Year 2025, as adopted by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board

This bill approves Louisiana's Fiscal Year 2025 plan for protecting and restoring its coastal areas, as developed by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board. The plan guides state funding for projects aimed at preventing erosion, rebuilding land, and strengthening defenses against storms and hurricanes. It requires the board to hold public hearings across the state to gather input before submitting the plan to legislative committees for review. Once approved by the legislature, the plan directs how resources are allocated to various coastal initiatives based on their priority status.
