LEVEES: Requests the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority to perform a cost benefit analysis on merging the Lafitte Area Independent Levee District with the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-West.

This Senate resolution asks the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority to study whether it makes sense to combine the Lafitte Area Independent Levee District with the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-West. The request focuses on creating a cost-benefit analysis to determine if merging these two entities would improve flood protection management for the west bank of the Mississippi River. The study must be completed by December 1, 2024, and the results will be shared with specific Senate committees and the state's legislative research library.
