PUBLIC WORKS: Creates the Public Projects Task Force.

SCR 69 creates a 15-member Public Projects Task Force to study Louisiana's public works laws and procedures. The task force will specifically examine payment delays to contractors, project delivery timelines, contract limits, and procurement processes affecting state, parish, and municipal public projects. It will gather input from stakeholders including contractors, associations, and local government officials. The task force must submit its final report to legislative committees by December 15, 2025, or January 31, 2027, whichever comes first. This resolution does not change existing laws but directs a study to identify potential improvements.
