House Resolution No. by Representative Wright establishes a legislative subcommittee tasked with studying the potential creation of a state income tax credit for residential water utility customers who face excessive rates. The subcommittee will consist of seven members, including three from the House Committee on Commerce, three from the House Committee on Ways and Means, and one representative from the Northshore Legislative Delegation, who will serve as chair. The resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring safe and affordable drinking water for Louisiana residents and acknowledges the ongoing issue of high water utility rates despite regulatory oversight by the Louisiana Public Service Commission.

The subcommittee is required to conduct its study and submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the House of Representatives and the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library at least thirty days before the 2027 Regular Session. The legislative authority for the subcommittee will conclude upon the commencement of that session. This initiative reflects the legislature's commitment to exploring viable solutions through tax policy to alleviate the financial burden on residents facing high water service charges.
