House Resolution No. by Representative Bourriaque seeks to approve the annual state integrated coastal protection plan for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, as adopted by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board. This resolution is grounded in various statutes that establish the board's role in overseeing the protection, conservation, enhancement, and restoration of Louisiana's coastal areas. The plan includes a range of projects aimed at addressing the coastal crisis, such as hurricane protection and restoration initiatives, and outlines the necessary funding and management strategies for these projects.

The resolution also emphasizes the importance of public engagement in the development of the coastal protection plan, requiring the board to hold public hearings and solicit feedback from local authorities and citizens. The plan must be submitted to relevant legislative committees for guidance and approval, and it will take effect upon approval by a majority of both houses of the legislature or automatically if not disapproved by July 1, 2026. The resolution concludes by mandating that a copy be sent to the chairman of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board.
