House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Wright, establishes a special committee within the House of Representatives to examine and provide recommendations regarding Louisiana's regulatory environment. The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining an effective regulatory framework that aligns with legislative intent and adapts to current legal standards. It highlights the necessity of regularly reviewing rules and regulations to prevent them from becoming outdated, overly burdensome, or costly for citizens and businesses. The committee will also compare Louisiana's regulations with those of other states and explore ways to enhance public participation in the regulatory process.

The newly formed "Special House Committee on Regulatory Reform" will consist of six members appointed by the Speaker of the House, with one member designated as the chairman. The committee is tasked with investigating various aspects of the regulatory environment, including the authority of governors in other states to review regulations, legislative oversight, and methods to assess the costs associated with proposed rules. The committee is required to report its findings to the legislature by February 16, 2026, ensuring that the state's regulatory framework remains responsive and accountable to its citizens.
