SR 137 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

FUNDS/FUNDING: Requests state agencies to seek funding, through state or federal funds or available grants, for unfunded programs and policies.

This Senate resolution asks state departments to actively seek money from state budgets, federal sources, or grants to implement laws that have been passed but lack funding. State agencies are instructed to identify these unfunded programs and submit detailed reports to the legislature by January 1, 2025, listing the specific policies, requested amounts, and any recommendations for changes. The measure targets executive branch departments, urging them to take the initiative to secure necessary resources for initiatives like school meal programs and health insurance coverage that were previously enacted without appropriation.
