This concurrent resolution asks the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to study whether it is possible to add hunting, conservation, and shooting sports classes to public school curricula for students in grades five through twelve. The study, which must be completed by March 1, 2027, will explore how these courses could fit into existing physical education programs or be offered as electives, covering topics like firearm safety, wildlife identification, and outdoor survival skills. The bill also considers whether completing such a course could lead to official Hunter Education Certification for students. Ultimately, the resolution directs the state education board and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to investigate this idea and report their findings to the state legislature.
This bill designates Wednesday, April 29, 2026, as Gulf States Renewable Energy Industries Association Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. It directly honors the Gulf States Renewable Energy Industries Association and its partner, Project Vanguard, by recognizing their work in creating jobs and supporting renewable energy projects in the state. The resolution does not change any laws or policies but serves as a formal commendation to highlight the contributions of these organizations to Louisiana's energy sector.
This bill is a concurrent resolution that expresses the Louisiana Legislature's support for a formal study requested by Senator John N. Kennedy. The study is directed at the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to investigate how land use changes and habitat loss impact migratory waterfowl behavior and populations within the Mississippi Flyway.

The primary effect of the bill is to formally endorse the request for this research rather than to enact new laws or regulations.

The measure urges individuals to participate in events, join the 'One Mississippi' organization as 'River Citizens,' and take steps to safeguard the river's ecosystem. By recognizing this date, the bill aims to raise awareness about the Mississippi River's cultural, economic, and environmental importance without mandating specific actions or funding.
This bill is a non-binding resolution that asks the Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy to investigate creating groundwater conservation districts for the Chicot, Southern Hills, and Mississippi aquifer systems. The study must examine how water is currently used and managed for purposes like agriculture, industry, and municipalities to determine if these districts would provide better oversight. The department is required to submit a written report of its findings to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment before the 2027 legislative session begins. Because this is a request for information rather than a law, it does not immediately change regulations or impose new requirements on any specific group.
This resolution from the Louisiana House of Representatives asks the Department of Conservation and Energy to study whether new laws are needed for the cleanup and protection of land after gravel mining.

The department must submit its findings to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment before the 2027 legislative session begins.

This bill asks the Federal Emergency Management Agency to update how often it reviews flood maps in Louisiana. It specifically urges FEMA to consider the state's recent investments in levees and other flood protection measures when calculating flood risks under its new Risk Rating 2.0 system. The goal is to ensure that these improvements are recognized, which could lead to fairer flood insurance rates for residents and businesses in the area.
