The Senate Resolution No. by Senator Hewitt aims to re-establish the Lower Pearl River Basin Task Force, which will focus on studying the conditions, needs, and funding related to flood protection and the preservation of the Lower Pearl River Basin. This area, located in southeastern Louisiana and parts of Mississippi, is known for its rich biodiversity and pristine swamps. The task force will develop a comprehensive plan to address flood control and drainage issues while ensuring the ecosystem's preservation, taking into account the increasing frequency of flooding and the potential impact of activities in Mississippi on the river's flow in Louisiana.

The task force will consist of nine members, including representatives from the Senate, House of Representatives, and various state departments, as well as parish presidents from Washington and St. Tammany Parishes. They will be responsible for conducting meetings, studying the feasibility of creating a multi-state compact with Mississippi, and exploring long-term projects for the area's maintenance. The task force is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to relevant Senate and House committees by July 1, 2025, after which it will cease to exist.
