The resolution, introduced by Representative Mandie Landry, authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a comprehensive study of the state's criminal statutes related to white-collar crimes, financial crimes, and offenses involving elected officials. This initiative is prompted by the recognition that such crimes, which often involve deceit for personal or business gain, can significantly undermine public trust in government, especially when committed by public officials. The study aims to evaluate existing laws, including various offenses outlined in Title 14 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, and to provide legislative recommendations to address these issues.

The Louisiana State Law Institute is tasked with delivering its findings and recommendations to the legislature no later than thirty days before the 2025 Regular Session. The resolution highlights the historical context of white-collar crimes in Louisiana, referencing notable cases and the impact of federal legislation like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of addressing public corruption, as evidenced by over three hundred convictions in the state over the past decade. The resolution mandates the submission of both print and electronic copies of the report to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring accessibility and transparency in the legislative process.
