STUDENTS: Establishes a task force to study and make recommendations relative to pathways to increase educational participation of students who are mothers.

This bill establishes a temporary task force to study barriers faced by student mothers in Louisiana's postsecondary institutions and propose ways to increase their educational participation. The group will consist of appointed leaders from the Senate, higher education, workforce development, and children's services agencies, who will meet to gather data on student demographics and existing support resources. By identifying gaps in current programs, the task force aims to develop specific legislative recommendations to help student mothers balance childcare, work, and their studies. The group is required to submit its findings and proposals to the Senate and the Legislative Research Library by March 1, 2025, after which the task force will dissolve.
