House Resolution No. [insert number] is a legislative measure that approves the annual state integrated coastal protection plan for Fiscal Year 2026, as adopted by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board. This resolution is grounded in Louisiana Revised Statutes, which establish the board's role in overseeing the protection, conservation, enhancement, and restoration of the state's coastal areas. The plan encompasses various projects aimed at addressing the coastal crisis, including hurricane protection and restoration initiatives, and outlines the necessary funding and management strategies for these projects.

The resolution also highlights the procedural requirements for developing the annual plan, including conducting public hearings to gather input from citizens and local officials, as well as submitting the plan to relevant legislative committees for approval. The plan will take effect upon approval by a majority of both houses of the legislature or, if not disapproved by July 1, 2025, will become effective immediately. The resolution concludes by mandating that a copy be sent to the chairman of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board.
