The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Barrow, aims to continue the Task Force on Prevention of Human Degradation and Exploitation of Vulnerable Individuals in Community-Based Residential Settings. This task force was initially established to study and recommend necessary regulations to protect nonrelated individuals living in shared housing from landlords who may neglect their rights and responsibilities. The resolution acknowledges the challenges faced during the 2019 Regular Session regarding proposed regulations for shared housing, particularly the opposition from landlords concerning a rental housing registry that would apply to all rental properties.

The resolution stipulates that the task force will continue its work, focusing on finding a legal and equitable solution to the issues surrounding unregulated rental housing. The task force is required to meet as needed and submit a report, including any legislative proposals, to the Louisiana Senate by March 1, 2024. Additionally, the task force is set to terminate on July 1, 2024, and the resolution mandates that copies be sent to various state officials and organizations involved in housing and health services.
