House Concurrent Resolution No. 25RS-701, introduced by Representative Zeringue, authorizes the legislative auditor to study the efficiency, financial accountability, and effectiveness of Louisiana's judicial system, specifically the state Supreme Court, courts of appeal, and district courts. This resolution stems from the Legislature's constitutional authority to appropriate public funds and audit their expenditure, as well as the establishment of the Judicial Structure Task Force, which aims to analyze caseload data and judicial resources. The resolution also notes that the Louisiana Supreme Court is currently conducting a work point study with a final report expected from the National Center for State Courts in November 2025.

The resolution mandates that the legislative auditor obtain the final report from the National Center for State Courts and examine the judiciary's plan to implement any recommendations made in the report. The auditor is required to present its findings to the legislature by April 1, 2026. Additionally, the resolution includes technical amendments and removes certain provisions related to judges' stipends and reimbursements, focusing solely on the efficiency and effectiveness of the judiciary.
