Summary
Senate Resolution 173 asks Louisiana’s Department of Transportation and Development to examine how it handles public‑private partnership (P3) contracts, comparing the Belle Chasse Toll Bridge project with other current or future P3 projects. The department must identify differences, improvements, and lessons learned in areas such as procurement, contract terms, tolling assumptions, oversight, and community impact, and report its findings to legislative committees by February 1 2027. The measure responds to public complaints and a 2023 performance audit that highlighted the need for clearer policies on P3 projects.
