Senate Resolution No. by Senator Harris urges the city of New Orleans to enforce existing littering ordinances specifically targeting commercial retail establishments. The resolution highlights the importance of effective litter control for the health, safety, and welfare of residents, as well as the city's reputation as a vibrant tourist destination. It notes a significant increase in litter around these establishments and points out that many property owners and lessees have failed to pay fines for violations, while the city has continued to issue occupational licenses and permits to them.

The resolution calls for the city to take decisive action to address this issue, including the collection of fines through measures such as suspending or revoking business licenses for non-compliance. It emphasizes the need for immediate action to mitigate the public nuisance caused by littering, which has raised concerns among community members. A copy of the resolution is to be sent to the president of the New Orleans City Council to ensure awareness and prompt action on the matter.
