House Resolution No. by Representative Miller urges the Louisiana State University School of Health Sciences to conduct studies aimed at identifying the associations between environmental risk factors and maternal health outcomes. The resolution highlights the sensitivity of women and unborn children to chemical toxicants and emphasizes the need for a precautionary approach to health monitoring. It points out existing gaps in knowledge regarding the cumulative effects of chemical exposures and the limitations of current health surveillance methods, particularly in areas near industrial and agricultural sites. The resolution calls for real-time environmental monitoring and expanded health surveillance in various community settings to better understand the impact of environmental factors on reproductive and developmental health.

The findings from these studies are expected to inform future public health interventions, regulatory practices, and land use policies to address health disparities and mitigate negative health impacts. The resolution mandates that the results and recommendations be reported to the relevant health and welfare committees of the House and Senate by July 1, 2026, and also requires submission of the report to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library.
