The Senate Resolution establishes the Task Force on Education Participation of Student Mothers in Louisiana, aimed at addressing the unique challenges faced by student mothers who are pursuing postsecondary education while raising dependent children. These challenges include limited access to affordable childcare, work interruptions, and increased food and housing insecurities, which can hinder their educational and workforce participation. The resolution highlights the importance of supporting student mothers, as earning a degree can significantly enhance their income potential and that of their children.

The task force will consist of key members from the Senate and relevant state departments, tasked with studying the demographics of student parents, identifying existing resources and gaps in support, and proposing legislative recommendations to improve educational opportunities for student mothers. The task force is required to submit a report by March 1, 2025, detailing their findings and recommendations. The resolution also outlines the operational structure of the task force, including meeting schedules and quorum requirements, and specifies that members will serve without compensation, aside from potential reimbursements for expenses.
