House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Wright, establishes a Special House Committee on Regulatory Reform to evaluate and make recommendations regarding Louisiana's regulatory environment. The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining an effective regulatory regime that aligns with legislative intent and ensures that rules and regulations do not become outdated, overly burdensome, or costly for citizens and businesses. The committee will conduct a systematic review of Louisiana's regulations, comparing them with those of other states, and will explore the authority of governors in other states to review and eliminate regulations, public involvement in the regulatory process, legislative oversight, and methods to quantify the costs of proposed regulations.

The committee will consist of six members appointed by the Speaker of the House, with one member designated as the chairman. The Speaker will also provide staff support for the committee's work. The Special House Committee on Regulatory Reform is tasked with reporting its findings to the legislature by February 16, 2026, ensuring that Louisiana's regulatory framework remains responsive, reasonable, and accountable to its citizens.
