Senate Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to review its public-private partnership (P3) contracting practices, specifically in relation to the Belle Chasse Toll Bridge project. The resolution highlights concerns raised by residents, motorists, and local officials regarding toll amounts and related charges since tolling began in 2025, which led to the suspension of toll collections by Governor Jeff Landry. The resolution emphasizes the need for a thorough examination of the Belle Chasse project, as it was the state's first P3 initiative and has implications for future transportation infrastructure projects.

The resolution calls for DOTD to compare the Belle Chasse project with upcoming P3 projects, focusing on procurement processes, contract terms, financial assumptions, project oversight, and community impact. It mandates that DOTD report its findings to the Senate and House committees on transportation, highways, and public works, as well as to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library by February 1, 2027. The resolution aims to ensure that lessons learned from the Belle Chasse project inform future P3 endeavors to better serve Louisiana residents.
