HR 278 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

HEALTH: Requests the Louisiana State University School of Health Sciences to conduct certain studies to identify associations between environmental risk factors and maternal health outcomes

This resolution requests Louisiana State University School of Health Sciences to study connections between environmental risks (like pollution or chemical exposures) and maternal health outcomes. It directs LSU to identify high-risk areas, health disparities, and monitoring gaps, with findings due to legislative committees by July 1, 2026. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to fill knowledge gaps in Louisiana’s limited research on environmental impacts on pregnancy and infant health.
