The work of the Louisiana 2020 Regular Legislative Session was in full swing as of, Monday, March 9. This is a “general” session, which means that specific revenue raising and tax measures cannot be considered. These issues can only be considered in odd numbered years. However, this session, legislators have pre-filed over 1,100 measures for consideration – 416 Senate Bills and 704 House Bills. Not only are there several measures to consider, but there are several new legislators to consider them. The House has 45 new members, including two former senators and the Senate welcomes 20 new members, including ten former representatives. The Regular Session is set to end on June 1. Citizens can follow the work of the legislature on the Internet at www.senate.la.gov or www.legis.la.gov where they can read, track, and print bills, review committee schedules and agendas, and watch legislative proceedings live or through the legislature’s video archives.
