The Senate Resolution establishes the Task Force on Child Sexual Abuse Investigation Processes in Louisiana, aimed at examining and improving the current methods used to investigate child sexual abuse cases. This initiative is prompted by alarming statistics indicating that a significant number of children experience sexual abuse, with many cases going unreported. The task force will assess existing procedures, identify gaps in the investigative process, and recommend legislative and procedural changes to enhance the effectiveness and sensitivity of investigations. It will also promote collaboration among agencies and encourage the development of specialized training for professionals involved in these cases.

The task force will consist of a diverse group of members, including representatives from various organizations such as the Department of Children and Family Services, law enforcement, the judiciary, and child advocacy groups, as well as survivors and parents of affected children. Members will be appointed by designated entities, and the task force is expected to convene by October 1, 2024, with a report due by February 28, 2025. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public testimony in achieving the task force's goals and outlines the operational structure, including quorum requirements and compensation for members.
