STATE AGENCIES: Requests state agencies to seek funding, through state or federal funds or available grants, for unfunded programs and policies (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
This resolution asks state agencies in Louisiana to actively seek funding for government programs that have been passed by the legislature but not yet started due to a lack of money. It directs departments to apply for state budget allocations, federal grants, or other available funds to implement these existing policies and to submit a report detailing their funding requests and recommendations by January 1, 2025. The measure does not allocate any money itself but serves as a formal request to encourage agencies to pursue necessary resources for unfunded initiatives.
