This Louisiana state resolution asks the U.S. Congress to provide $10 million in funding to remove four unsafe bridges on Highway 90 in St. Tammany Parish. The bridges, which have been closed since 2022 due to structural issues, currently block a vital route used for commerce, daily commuting, and hurricane evacuations. The request specifically seeks money from the 2027 federal budget to clear these structures, which is intended as a preliminary step toward rebuilding the highway. This measure does not directly allocate funds but serves as a formal request to the federal government to consider the funding in future appropriations.
This bill directs the Department of Transportation and Development to investigate the necessity and safety of installing mountable median curbs on Range Avenue in Denham Springs, Louisiana. The study will specifically assess how these physical road features impact local businesses and commercial activity along the street. By requesting this analysis, the legislation aims to gather data before any potential infrastructure changes are made. The measure is a formal request for information rather than a mandate to build or alter the road immediately.
This Louisiana House resolution asks the U.S. Congress to oppose any parts of the upcoming 2026 Farm Bill that might restrict the use of hunting dogs. The measure specifically targets proposed language that could limit lawful hunting traditions, field trials, and the training of working dogs. By urging state representatives to block such provisions, the bill aims to protect local hunting culture and the rural economy without changing federal law directly.
This bill asks the U.S. Congress to extend the deadline for spending federal funds allocated to Louisiana under the American Rescue Plan Act. The request specifically targets over $700 million designated for critical water and sewer infrastructure projects that improve public health and safety across the state. Because complex planning, supply chain issues, and a shortage of qualified workers have delayed some projects past the original December 31, 2026, expiration date, the resolution seeks additional time to ensure these essential repairs and upgrades can be completed. If granted, the extension would allow local communities to finish necessary infrastructure work without losing the federal funding they have already secured.
This resolution asks the Louisiana Departments of Health and Education to share de-identified student vision screening data from 2018 to the present with independent researchers. The requested information includes details such as the year of screening, grade level, visual acuity results, and demographic categories to help analyze long-term trends in student eye health. While the bill does not change existing laws or require immediate action, it seeks to facilitate studies that could inform future decisions about student well-being and educational practices. If the agencies agree to provide the data, researchers will conduct the analysis and report their findings back to the legislature.
This resolution directs the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to widen Louisiana Highway 16 from two lanes to four lanes between highways 1019 and 1023. The project aims to reduce traffic congestion for the approximately 25,000 daily drivers and improve access for local businesses in the area. Although funding was already allocated in the 2024 session, this bill formally authorizes the state to begin the construction work.
This bill asks the state's Public Service Commission to examine distributed energy generation and storage options for residents of this state. It directs the commission to study how these technologies can benefit local communities and includes a requirement to send a copy of the resolution to the commission's chairman. The text was amended to replace specific references to "Louisiana" with "this state" and to change mandatory language to a request. Ultimately, the measure serves as a formal request for the commission to conduct a study rather than a law that immediately changes regulations.
This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to study whether adding turn lanes to Louisiana Highway 1024 would improve traffic flow and safety. The request is based on findings that dedicated turn lanes can reduce accidents and delays caused by conflicts between vehicles turning and those moving straight through intersections. If the study finds the project feasible, the department must submit a written report of its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works before January 1, 2027.
This resolution urges the U.S. Department of Agriculture to use its Section 32 program to buy domestic shrimp from Louisiana shrimpers. The measure aims to provide financial relief to local fishermen by having the USDA purchase surplus shrimp to support domestic markets and supply food to federal nutrition assistance programs. While the bill does not mandate the purchase, it formally requests that the agency prioritize Louisiana seafood in its procurement efforts to help stabilize the industry against rising costs and foreign competition.
This legislative resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to build a roundabout at the intersection of Louisiana Highway 1019 and Old Louisiana Highway 16. The bill cites safety data suggesting roundabouts reduce severe collisions and encourages drivers to slow down, which is particularly relevant near the nearby Live Oak Junior High School. By formally requesting this infrastructure change, the resolution aims to improve traffic safety without mandating the construction.
This bill designates Wednesday, May 6, 2026, as LMA Municipal Day at the Louisiana state capitol to honor the Louisiana Municipal Association and its members. The resolution directly affects the 306 municipalities represented by the LMA, including cities, towns, villages, and parishes, by officially recognizing their contributions to local governance. It serves as a commemorative measure celebrating the organization's 100th anniversary and its role in advocating for local control and municipal services. The bill does not alter any laws or funding but simply establishes a symbolic day to acknowledge the work of local government officials and staff.
This bill designates May 2026 as Mental Health Awareness Month in Louisiana to promote public understanding of mental wellness. It encourages citizens, government agencies, businesses, and schools to increase awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. The resolution does not allocate funding or change laws but serves as a formal recognition to support community efforts in mental health education.
