PUBLIC ASSISTANCE: Requests the Louisiana legislative auditor to publish an updated report of integrating assistance programs to achieve improved outcomes
HR 241 is a resolution requesting the Louisiana legislative auditor to update a 2024 report on integrating public assistance programs. It specifically asks for a follow-up report before the 2027 legislative session, building on findings that Louisiana spent $3.2 billion on programs like SNAP, TANF, WIOA, and child care assistance to serve about 1 million people. The resolution emphasizes improving coordination among these programs to enhance outcomes, referencing recommendations from a 2025 task force report. The update would assess progress toward better integration, whether or not related legislation (HB 624/HB 617) is enacted.
