MINOR

The bill was transitioned from an original draft to its enrolled, final version, which includes a significant shift in the requested action. The resolution now explicitly asks the Department of Transportation and Development to provide support and assistance to the University of New Orleans Transportation Institute for a planning study, rather than just requesting the Department to conduct the study itself. Additionally, the reporting requirements were clarified to specify that the University Institute must submit findings to the Senate Committee.

Scope change

The scope of the request changed from a direct mandate for the Department to conduct the study to a request for the Department to assist the University Institute in conducting the study.

REQUIREMENT

The primary request was modified to ask the Department of Transportation and Development to provide support and assistance to the University of New Orleans Transportation Institute, instead of asking the Department to conduct the study directly.

The reporting requirement was clarified to specify that the University of New Orleans Transportation Institute is the entity responsible for reporting findings to the Senate Committee.
