The House Resolution establishes a subcommittee within the House Committee on Commerce to examine the current music industry ecosystem in Louisiana and its economic impact. Recognizing music as a vital resource and economic driver in the state, contributing over $1.2 billion to the GDP and employing more than 30,000 residents, the resolution aims to elevate the music industry to a status comparable to other key sectors like tourism and agriculture. The subcommittee is tasked with reviewing existing incentive laws and making recommendations for policy and legislative changes by November 15, 2024, to foster a self-sustaining music industry.

The subcommittee will be chaired by the chairperson of the House Committee on Commerce or their designee and is required to hold at least five meetings, including public hearings to gather input from music industry professionals and other stakeholders. A written report detailing the subcommittee's findings and recommendations is to be submitted to the House of Representatives by February 1, 2025. The resolution underscores the importance of supporting the music industry for the benefit of current and future music creators and the overall economy of Louisiana.
