The Senate Resolution No. by Senator Harris establishes the continuation of the Judicial Structure Task Force in Louisiana to conduct a comprehensive study of the caseload data and the number of judges in each appellate and district court. This initiative aims to assess the current structure of the judiciary and identify necessary changes to ensure the efficient use of judicial resources, particularly in light of recent population shifts revealed by the 2020 federal census. The task force will analyze various factors, including case filing data, court structure, and financial resources, to provide informed recommendations for legislative action by February 1, 2025.

The task force will consist of a diverse group of members, including representatives from both the House and Senate, judicial officials, and various legal associations. It is empowered to solicit input from multiple stakeholders and will be responsible for producing a detailed report that includes updated workload studies, caseload data, and recommendations for optimizing the judiciary's structure and resource allocation. The resolution emphasizes the importance of accurate data to support future appropriations for the judicial system and aims to ensure that judicial resources are allocated effectively across the state.
