The Senate Resolution establishes the Task Force on Juvenile Justice Facility Standards in Louisiana, aimed at addressing the current crisis in the juvenile justice system, where juveniles are being housed in inadequate conditions, including facilities on the grounds of the Louisiana State Penitentiary. The task force is tasked with studying the conditions of juvenile justice facilities, creating statewide standards, and proposing legislative recommendations as necessary. The resolution mandates that the task force submit a written report to the Senate and the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library by March 1, 2024.

The task force will be composed of various representatives, including a senator from District 12 as chairperson, members from the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement, the Louisiana District Attorneys Association, the Louisiana Department of Education, the Louisiana Department of Health, the Louisiana Public Defender Board, and the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. The task force is required to convene its first meeting by September 15, 2023, and will operate without compensation, except for any per diem or expense reimbursements. The task force will dissolve upon the submission of its report or by the specified deadline in March 2024.
