WILDLIFE/HABITAT: Expresses legislative support for a request by Senator John N. Kennedy to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct a study addressing the impact of flooded corn on migratory waterfowl behavior

This bill is a concurrent resolution that expresses the Louisiana Legislature's support for a request to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct a study on how flooded corn fields affect migratory waterfowl. The resolution asks the federal agency to examine how corn flooding influences bird behavior, winter locations, and economic impacts within the Mississippi Flyway. It does not create new laws or regulations but instead formally endorses a research initiative prompted by concerns about declining waterfowl populations in Louisiana. The text references past regulatory changes that allowed more hunting over flooded crops as background context for the study request.
