Summary: The Senate convened with 27 members present, heard a guest minister’s prayer for the National Day of Prayer, and adopted the pledge. The chamber then dispensed with the journal and received a legislative bureau report on numerous House bills. It also received House messages on several Senate bills and joint resolutions, including concurrence on multiple Senate measures with amendments, and introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 63, which would request an audit of the fiscal note process. The Senate adopted Senate Resolution 86, which would prohibit eyeglasses with video or audio recording capability on the Senate floor without approval from the President. Several Senate bills were advanced, including measures on human trafficking training in schools (SB 83), bulletproof vests for peace officers (SB 143), dental care for cancer patients (SB 155), parental leave for educators (SB 157), election board compensation days (SB 202), child welfare and the state child ombudsman (SB 237), brain injury treatment coverage (SB 295), foreign-adversary contract review and homeland security (SB 388), school safety reporting (SB 450), and prompt-pay standards for health care claims (SB 465). Most of these bills passed the Senate unanimously or near-unanimously and were moved to reconsider, while SB 513 on public works average-bid contracting was amended and returned to the calendar. The Senate also took up many House bills, passing measures on voluntary portable benefits for independent contractors (HB 301), memorial highway and terminal designations (HB 358, HB 384, HB 428, HB 657, HB 675, HB 716, HB 972), insurance and health-related changes (HB 413, HB 450, HB 631, HB 680), workforce development (HB 680), and a seafood research authorization near Grand Isle (HB 669). Several bills were amended before passage, including HB 359 on election qualifying rules and HB 675 with an added memorial corridor for crossing guard Katie Wells. Other House bills were received but not acted on or were returned to the calendar. The session ended with committee announcements, a brief recognition of mothers in the chamber, and adjournment until Monday, May 11 at 2 p.m.

Summary: The House convened with a quorum, heard a prayer and pledge, adopted the journal, and received Senate messages, committee reports, and a large number of bill introductions and committee referrals. Several resolutions were adopted without objection, including condolences, commendations, and designations such as Jeanerette as the French bread capital of Louisiana and recognition of Women’s History Month. The chamber also received numerous House and Senate bills for referral, many involving retirement systems, education, transportation, criminal justice, natural resources, and local government matters. The floor then moved through a long series of House bills, with many local and retirement measures passing unanimously or near-unanimously. Among the bills discussed were changes to retirement systems for district attorneys, clerks of court, sheriffs and deputies, assessors, and municipal police employees; local court jurisdiction and commissioner authority; bankruptcy and succession thresholds; civil procedure revisions; and measures on election administration, public records, seafood labeling and safety, state symbols, and OMV fees. Members asked questions on several bills, especially about fiscal impact, retirement governance, and procedural changes, but most bills advanced with little opposition. A few bills were returned to the calendar, including HB 9, HB 61, HB 126, HB 185, HB 233, HB 284, HB 301, HB 436, HB 468, HB 582, HB 613, and HB 722. The House also considered bills affecting education, labor, health, and public safety, including employment certificates for minors, student questionnaires and hazing procedures, a state seal of fine arts diploma, Louisiana Works reauthorization, naloxone immunity, veterans’ medical-record fee waivers, and a bill creating a privacy protection act for sex offense victims. Several measures drew brief debate over fairness, administrative burden, or humanitarian concerns, such as a bill requiring a Rule 10.1 conference before requests for admissions are deemed admitted, and a bill allowing OMV fee waivers in emergency or humanitarian situations. Most of the bills taken up on the floor passed, often by wide margins, with a few receiving a small number of dissenting votes.

Summary: The House convened with a quorum, the flags were escorted by the Nisei Veterans Committee Color Guard, the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Scout Alexander Bertelsen, and Reverend Masao Umoto delivered the invocation. The House then approved the previous day’s minutes and took up House Resolution 4692, recognizing the 84th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 and honoring Japanese Americans who were forcibly relocated and incarcerated during World War II. The resolution recounted the history of the incarceration, the service of Japanese American veterans, the findings of the 1982 commission that the policy was driven by racial prejudice and war hysteria, and the later federal apology and reparations. The resolution was adopted by voice vote, and guests connected to the Japanese American community and remembrance observances were recognized. Several members spoke in support of the resolution, emphasizing the constitutional failures of the wartime incarceration, the importance of remembrance, and the need to guard against fear-driven violations of civil liberties. Remarks also highlighted personal family histories, the experiences of camps such as Manzanar and Camp Harmony, and the service of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and other Japanese American units. After adoption, the House agreed to spread Representative Stonier’s remarks upon the journal. The House then considered a motion to re-refer Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 536 to the Community Safety Committee instead of the Environment and Energy Committee. Representative Abbarno argued the bill dealt primarily with criminal penalties and prosecutorial authority, while Representative Fitzgibbon opposed the change, saying the bill’s predominant subject matter remained environmental. The amendment failed on a voice vote. The House then adopted the motion to read and refer the day’s introductions to the designated committees, with SB 6066 sent to Transportation. Finally, the House returned HB 1065, HJM 1412, and ESHB 1819 to the Rules Committee, announced caucuses, and adjourned until 9:55 a.m. Friday, February 20.

• Substitute Senate Bill 6237, the Secretary will read: An act relating to rental property disclosures
• And this bill does just provide for full disclosure for any potential floods that may happen.
• So full disclosure is good. I'd encourage you to have voted yes. There are no further remarks.
• And so my office, with San Juan County and the Office of the Insurance Commissioner, began to engage
• Commissioner began to engage around this issue of what are we going to do if we have an entire county
