Representative Landry's bill to study food deserts and create a 10-year plan was reported without action and recommitted to the finance committee after LSU AgCenter representatives said they lack capacity and funding to conduct the study as written and senators raised concerns about a possible $100,000 fiscal impact.

HB1194 was reported favorably after amendments that assign LSU AgCenter responsibility to identify, map and develop a 10‑year elimination plan for food deserts. Members debated funding, metrics and long‑term sustainability and recorded a roll-call vote of 10–3.
