The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Foil, authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a comprehensive study and recommend legislative changes regarding the Louisiana Governmental Claims Act and related provisions in the Code of Civil Procedure and Civil Code Ancillaries. This initiative aims to review the existing laws governing claims against the state, its political subdivisions, and their officers and employees, as these statutes have not been thoroughly examined for many years. The resolution highlights the need for potential amendments to ensure that the laws align with the legislative intent and address any changes resulting from recent judicial decisions.

The Louisiana State Law Institute is tasked with submitting a report detailing its findings, recommendations, and proposed legislation to the legislature by March 1, 2026. The resolution also mandates that copies of the report be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring transparency and accessibility of the information gathered during the study.
