The House Resolution urges the Louisiana State University School of Health Sciences to conduct comprehensive studies aimed at identifying the associations between environmental risk factors and maternal health outcomes. It highlights the sensitivity of women and unborn children to chemical toxicants and emphasizes the need for a precautionary approach to health monitoring. The resolution points out existing gaps in health surveillance, environmental monitoring, and research on the cumulative effects of chemical exposures, particularly in Louisiana, where there has been limited peer-reviewed research compared to neighboring states.

The resolution calls for the identification of high-risk areas, health disparities, and contributing risk factors, as well as the expansion of health surveillance in various healthcare settings. It mandates that the findings and recommendations from these studies be reported to the relevant legislative committees by July 1, 2026, to inform future public health interventions and regulatory practices aimed at reducing health disparities and mitigating the impacts of environmental risks on maternal health.
