Senate Resolution No. by Senator Foil urges 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. The resolution highlights the need for this review, noting that the existing statutes have not been thoroughly examined for many years, despite amendments and judicial decisions that may have impacted their application. The study aims to ensure that the laws governing claims against the state, its political subdivisions, and employees acting within the scope of their duties are up-to-date and aligned with the legislative intent.

The Louisiana State Law Institute is tasked with submitting a report of its findings, recommendations, and proposed legislation to the legislature by March 1, 2026. This report will include both printed and electronic copies, which will be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library as required by law. The resolution emphasizes the importance of revising and amending the relevant statutes to improve the administration of claims covered by the state risk management program and to enhance the legal framework for asserting claims against the state.
