Senate Resolution No. by Senator Foil authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a comprehensive study and recommend legislative changes related to the Louisiana Governmental Claims Act and associated provisions in the Code of Civil Procedure and Civil Code Ancillaries. The resolution highlights the need for this review due to the lack of a thorough examination of these laws in many years, despite amendments and judicial decisions that may have impacted their application. The study aims to ensure that the statutes align with the legislative intent and effectively govern claims against the state, its political subdivisions, and employees acting within the scope of their duties.

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. The resolution also mandates that copies of the report be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring transparency and accessibility of the findings. This initiative reflects the legislature's commitment to reviewing and potentially amending laws governing claims against the state to enhance their effectiveness and clarity.
