House introduces study on small modular nuclear reactors; floor referral recorded with objection
Summary
A resolution to create a task force to study policies encouraging development of small modular nuclear reactors in Louisiana was introduced and moved for referral; the transcript records a floor objection and a committee referral mention to Natural Resources.
A House resolution introduced on May 29 would create a task force to study and recommend policies promoting the development of small modular nuclear reactors in Louisiana. The resolution was presented as HR 249 on the floor; a member moved to suspend the rules and refer it to committee.
The clerk recorded a floor response of "That objection, natural resources," indicating an objection was noted during the suspension‑of‑rules motion and the referral was associated with the Natural Resources Committee. The transcript does not capture sustained debate or an explanatory statement from the sponsor beyond the introduction.
The measure is now in the committee process; the Natural Resources Committee will determine whether to hear testimony, request technical and regulatory analysis, and consider any related fiscal or siting issues. The floor transcript does not include committee scheduling, funding language or technical details about reactor designs or regulatory authority.
