LEGIS POWERS/FUNCTIONS: Establishes the Louisiana Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Innovation Caucus.
This bill establishes the Louisiana Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Innovation Caucus within the state Senate. It allows any senator interested in STEM policy to join the group, which aims to coordinate efforts and present a unified voice on issues related to research and innovation in the state. The resolution explicitly states that the caucus will not receive any funding, office space, equipment, or staff support from the Senate or its agencies. This measure creates a formal structure for senators to collaborate on STEM topics, mirroring a similar group that already exists in the House of Representatives.
