The Senate Resolution reestablishes the Task Force on State Recognition of Indian Tribes in Louisiana to develop formal criteria for state recognition of Indian tribes. This initiative arises from the need to properly vet claims for tribal status, as previous denials were largely due to the absence of established criteria. The task force is tasked with proposing recommendations and legislative proposals by March 1, 2024, and will consider the seven criteria used by the federal government for tribal recognition.

The task force will consist of appointed members from the Senate, the governor's office, and the attorney general's office, and is required to convene by September 15, 2023. It will seek input from recognized Indian tribes, relevant government offices, and experts in American Indian law. The task force will operate without compensation, except for per diem or expense reimbursements, and will be supported by legislative staff. It will dissolve upon submitting its report or by the specified deadline in March 2024.
