The resolution aims to re-establish the Lower Pearl River Basin Task Force in Louisiana to address flood protection and ecosystem preservation in the Lower Pearl River Basin, which spans southeastern Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. The task force will study the conditions, needs, and funding related to flood control and the preservation of this ecologically significant area, which is home to diverse wildlife and has recently experienced increased flooding. The resolution emphasizes the importance of creating a comprehensive plan based on scientific data to maintain the basin's natural state while addressing flooding issues.

The task force will consist of nine members, including representatives from various state departments and local parish leaders, and will be chaired by a member appointed by the president of the Senate. The group is tasked with exploring flood protection strategies, potential management authorities, and financing options, as well as considering a multi-state compact with Mississippi. The task force is required to report its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to relevant legislative committees by July 1, 2025, after which it will be dissolved.
