The resolution authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study and recommend legislation regarding the procedures for the recusal of judges and justices of the peace in criminal proceedings. It highlights the importance of impartiality in the judiciary and the need for consistent procedures to ensure equal justice across all courts. The study aims to address the current differences in recusal processes between civil and criminal cases, as outlined in the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Criminal Procedure.

The Louisiana State Law Institute is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the legislature by February 1, 2026. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies of the report be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring that the findings are accessible for further legislative consideration.
