The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Lacombe aims to continue the operations of the False River Watershed Council, which was established by the Louisiana Legislature to enhance the aquatic habitat and manage resources within the False River watershed. The council is tasked with evaluating management strategies, improving water quality, and coordinating efforts among various governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. To optimize its effectiveness, the resolution proposes amendments to the council's membership, ensuring that it includes representatives from key state departments, local government, and appointed members from the community.
Additionally, the resolution mandates that the council submit an annual report to the relevant legislative committees and outlines that council members will not receive compensation for their service, aside from any entitlements from other public offices. The council is also instructed to engage with federal resource agencies to gather insights for their studies. This initiative reflects a commitment to restoring and protecting the False River watershed through collaborative governance and expert participation.
