HCR 59 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

ENERGY: Urges and requests the state, its agencies, and the legislature to repudiate the Louisiana Climate Action Plan of 2022

This concurrent resolution urges the state of Louisiana and its agencies to officially reject the 2022 Louisiana Climate Action Plan and declare it non-binding on future laws and policies. The bill argues that the plan undermines the state's energy economy and property rights by promoting federal regulations and international climate goals over local interests. It requests that any new environmental initiatives include input from industry stakeholders and that the legislature exercise its oversight authority by holding hearings before adopting executive actions. Additionally, the resolution commits the state to prioritizing energy independence, free-market principles, and domestic resource management instead of relying on federal mandates.
