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 evaluate the costs and benefits of such systems, which can detect hazardous pollutants, provide timely alerts to first responders and the public, and enhance transparency and cooperation among government, industry, and communities.

The task force will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from the Department of Environmental Quality, the Department of Health, and industry associations. It is tasked with convening by August 1, 2024, to establish procedures and a work schedule, and it must submit a comprehensive report by February 15, 2025. This report will detail the effectiveness of air monitoring systems, associated costs, the types of pollutants emitted by facilities, their public health impacts, and recommendations for legislative changes necessary for implementation.
