SR 169 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH CARE: Establishes a task force to review the governance of community-based residential settings.

This Senate resolution creates a temporary task force to review and improve how Louisiana regulates community-based residential settings, such as group homes and shared living arrangements. The group, which must finish its work by July 2025, includes representatives from health agencies, law enforcement, housing organizations, and advocacy groups for vulnerable individuals. Its main job is to examine current laws and suggest new rules to prevent exploitation, ensure safety, and establish penalties for property owners who operate unsafe facilities. The task force will also look at how to help residents move out of unhealthy environments and will submit its findings and recommendations to the Senate.
