The resolution establishes the Community Air Monitoring and Notification Task Force in Louisiana, aimed at studying the implementation of real-time air monitoring and notification systems for emission sources. This initiative is driven by the need to protect public health and the environment, particularly in communities disproportionately affected by air pollution. The task force will assess the costs and benefits of such systems, which can provide critical data on air quality, alert first responders and communities to pollution threats, and promote transparency between government, industry, and the public.

The task force will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from the Department of Environmental Quality, the Department of Health, and several industry and environmental organizations. It is tasked with convening its first meeting by August 1, 2024, and must submit a report by February 15, 2025, detailing the effectiveness, costs, and necessary legal changes for implementing air monitoring systems. This resolution underscores the importance of balancing economic productivity with environmental protection and public health in Louisiana.
