BY SENATOR CORTEZ
A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to study the
feasibility of corporate sponsorship of state bridges, other department infrastructure,
or equipment.
WHEREAS, the state of Louisiana's infrastructure is aging and existing resources
limit the Department of Transportation and Development's ability to address increasing
needs; and
WHEREAS, corporate sponsorship of the state's bridges, other department
infrastructure, or equipment may generate sufficient revenue to justify such action and to
assist in meeting bridge, other infrastructure, or equipment needs; and
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Youth Advisory Council sought to determine whether
corporate bridge sponsorship is feasible; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Transportation and Development has the knowledge,
expertise, and information to identify and consider the factors necessary to make a feasibility
determination.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to study the feasibility
of corporate sponsorship of state bridges, other department infrastructure, or equipment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the department shall prepare and submit a final
report that contains the results of the study requested by this Resolution to the House and
Senate committees on transportation, highways and public works no later than February 1,
2017.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development.
