HCR 80 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CIVIL/LAW: Directs the La. State Law Institute to study the Private Works Act

This bill directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study on the Private Works Act, a legal framework governing construction and repair projects. The legislation specifically adjusts the deadline for submitting the study's findings from November 15, 2024, to January 25, 2025. By extending this timeline, the bill ensures the Institute has additional time to analyze the current law before reporting its recommendations. The measure directly impacts the State Law Institute and does not alter existing regulations or affect private contractors immediately.
