Senate Resolution No. by Senator Barrow establishes the Task Force on Technology and Research Parks to evaluate the effectiveness of technology and research parks in Louisiana. The resolution highlights the historical context of these parks, which were created in the early 1980s to support technology-based businesses in various sectors, including information technology and biomedical fields. The task force is tasked with studying the utilization of these parks since January 2020, assessing the investment in businesses, and determining the operational status of these businesses, particularly those classified as "disadvantaged." The findings and recommendations are to be reported to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and International Affairs by March 1, 2026.

The task force will consist of various members, including representatives from the Senate, Louisiana Economic Development, and several university systems. It is required to hold its first meeting by September 15, 2026, and will operate under the Open Meetings Law and Public Records Law. The task force will be staffed by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and International Affairs and will terminate upon the submission of its report or by June 1, 2025, whichever comes first. Members will serve without compensation, except for per diem or expense reimbursements as applicable.
