Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Womack establishes the Public Projects Task Force in Louisiana, aimed at studying and making recommendations concerning the Louisiana Public Works Act. The task force will evaluate state and local public works policies and procedures related to public contracts and projects, with a focus on improving the efficiency and timeliness of project delivery and payments made by public entities to contractors. This initiative is driven by the need to address delays and inefficiencies that impact various stakeholders, including state and local governments, contractors, and service providers.

The task force will consist of fifteen members, including key legislative leaders and representatives from various construction and engineering associations. It is tasked with reviewing current public bid laws, contract limits, and procedural approval dates, as well as gathering input from stakeholders. The task force is required to meet at least twice before December 15, 2025, and must submit a written report of its 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.
