Senate Resolution No. ___, introduced by Senator Foil, authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a comprehensive study of the Louisiana Governmental Claims Act and related provisions in the Code of Civil Procedure and Civil Code Ancillaries. The resolution highlights the need for this review due to the lack of a thorough examination of these laws in many years, despite amendments and judicial decisions that may have impacted their application. The study aims to ensure that the statutes align with the legislative intent and effectively govern claims against the state, political subdivisions, and their employees.

The Louisiana State Law Institute is tasked with recommending potential legislative changes and will submit a report detailing its findings and proposed legislation to the legislature by March 1, 2026. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies of the report be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring transparency and accessibility of the findings.
