Bill > HR164

This resolution creates a special nine-member study committee within the Louisiana House of Representatives to investigate the feasibility of providing office space for House members in the state capitol or other state buildings. The committee will be strategically composed of three first-term, three second-term, and three third-term representatives, with the House Speaker responsible for appointing the chairman and vice chairman. The resolution notes that currently most state representatives do not have offices within the capitol complex, which makes constituent meetings and advocacy challenging, and highlights that over half of U.S. states already provide such legislative office spaces. The study committee is mandated to meet as needed and will be required to report its findings to the House of Representatives before the 2026 Regular Legislative Session, with the goal of exploring potential solutions to improve legislator-constituent interactions and workspace accessibility.
