The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Womack establishes the Public Projects Task Force in Louisiana to conduct a comprehensive study of the Louisiana Public Works Act and assess the policies and procedures related to public contracts and projects at both state and local levels. The resolution emphasizes the importance of efficient public works project delivery and timely payments to contractors, as delays can lead to increased costs and hinder economic development. The task force will evaluate various aspects of public bid laws, project delivery processes, and legislative proposals aimed at improving efficiency.

The task force will consist of fifteen members, including key legislative leaders and representatives from various construction and engineering associations. It is required to meet at least twice before December 15, 2025, and must submit a report with findings and recommendations by January 31, 2027, or upon completion of its work. Members will serve without compensation, although they may receive per diem or expense reimbursements. The task force will also receive staff support from designated entities, ensuring a collaborative approach to enhancing Louisiana's public works framework.
