HCR 190 Original 2015 Regular Session Tim Burns
Present law (R.S. 24:117(B)(2)) authorizes the legislature to express the intended meaning of a law
in a duly adopted concurrent resolution, by the same vote and, except for gubernatorial veto and time
limitations for introduction, according to the same procedures and formalities required for enactment
of that law.
Present law (R.S. 33:109.1), which was enacted by Act No. 859 of the 2004 R.S., requires state
agencies and departments to consider a master plan adopted by a parish or municipal governing
authority before undertaking any activity or action which would affect the adopted elements of the
master plan.
Proposed resolution expresses the intent of the legislature that "shall consider" in such requirement
means act in compliance with the local master plan to the greatest extent practicable.
