Senate Resolution No. urges each state department in Louisiana to actively seek funding for programs and policies that have been enacted by the legislature but remain unfunded and unimplemented. The resolution highlights the importance of these programs, which include initiatives such as free school meals, port development, and health insurance for genetic testing, emphasizing that their effectiveness is contingent on securing necessary funding. It calls for departments to include these funding requests in their annual budget proposals and to explore federal funding sources and grants.

Additionally, the resolution mandates that each state department report back to the legislature by January 1, 2025, detailing the unfunded programs and policies, the amounts requested for funding in the upcoming fiscal years, the appropriated amounts for previous years, and recommendations for the future of these initiatives. This initiative aims to ensure that the legislative efforts translate into actionable programs that benefit the state, while also holding departments accountable for pursuing the necessary financial resources.
