HCR 24 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

SCHOOLS/HIGH SCHOOL: Creates a special committee of the legislature to study the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA)

HCR 24 creates a special legislative committee to study the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) and its operations. The bill specifically directs the committee to examine LHSAA's structure and impact on all Louisiana high schools, including public, private, and parochial institutions, as amended throughout the text. This is a procedural resolution (not a law) that establishes a fact-finding body, with no immediate policy changes or direct effects on schools. The committee's work will inform future legislative decisions but does not alter current athletic association rules or funding.

MINOR

The bill was revised to narrow its focus exclusively to public schools, removing references to private and parochial institutions. The committee size was reduced from ten to eight members by eliminating the Senate Education Committee chair's designated member and one additional Senate appointee. The committee's authority to hold hearings is now limited to the House of Representatives rules instead of applying to both chambers.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed from covering public, private, and parochial schools to covering only public schools.

SCOPE

The study mandate was changed to apply only to public schools, removing private and parochial schools from the scope of the investigation.

REQUIREMENT

The committee composition was reduced from ten members to eight members by removing specific Senate-appointed positions.

The committee's operational authority was restricted to the House of Representatives rules, removing the parallel authority under Senate rules.
