The Louisiana Senate has established the Louisiana Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Innovation Caucus to promote and support STEM-related initiatives within the state. This caucus aims to unite Senate members who are dedicated to advancing STEM innovation and growth, allowing them to collaboratively develop and advocate for legislative policies that enhance STEM research and entrepreneurship in Louisiana. The resolution highlights the importance of STEM occupations in creating jobs with competitive salaries and acknowledges Louisiana's significant contributions to various STEM sectors, including engineering and biomedical innovation.
Membership in the STEM Innovation Caucus is open to all Senate members interested in STEM policy development, fostering a collaborative environment for discussing and promoting STEM initiatives. However, the caucus will not receive any funding, office space, equipment, or staff support from the Senate or any related agencies, ensuring that it operates independently while focusing on its mission to enhance STEM innovation in Louisiana.
