The resolution 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 task force aims to address issues such as delays in project delivery and payments to contractors, which can lead to increased costs and inefficiencies affecting various stakeholders, including municipalities, contractors, and service providers. The task force will evaluate current public bid laws, infrastructure project delivery, legislative proposals for improvement, and gather input from key stakeholders in the public works sector.

The task force will consist of fifteen members, including representatives from legislative committees, construction associations, and municipal organizations, with the chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance presiding over the group. 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, except for potential per diem or expense reimbursements, and will receive staff support from designated entities.
