Summary: The House Standing Committee on Health Services met with a quorum and took up one item: House Bill 510. The bill, presented by Representative Neas with testimony from Network for Hope CEO Barry Massa and Kentucky Right to Life executive director Adia Wishner, would create new statutory protocols for organ donation. Supporters said it clarifies medical and legal definitions, requires an immediate pause in organ recovery if anyone observes a concerning neurological change or indication of life, and mandates reassessment before proceeding, with the goal of protecting patients and rebuilding public trust in organ, tissue, and eye donation. Testimony emphasized that the bill is intended to ensure organ recovery only proceeds when death has been confirmed with certainty and that the safeguards largely reflect practices already used by Network for Hope. Supporters framed the measure as both protecting donor dignity and preserving confidence in the donation system. The committee chair said he supported the clarification and noted the importance of the issue. A motion and second were made, and the committee voted by roll call to advance HB 510. The bill received favorable expression and was reported as likely to pass on the House floor. The committee then announced its next meeting date and adjourned.

Summary: The Senate convened with 32 members present, heard a guest prayer from Pastor Dr. Michael Linton, and proceeded through routine journal approval and legislative bureau reports. The chamber received numerous House messages on passed Senate bills and House bills, introduced several resolutions and concurrent resolutions, and recognized Former Legislators’ Day with remarks honoring deceased former members and welcoming back past legislators and other officials. The Senate also adopted SCR 63, which asks the Legislative Auditor to review how fiscal notes are developed and prepared, after an amendment clarifying the study’s scope and a 33-0 vote. The body then took up a series of Senate bills returned from the House. It concurred in House amendments to SB 106 (crime scene recordings/public records), SB 206 (blood pressure testing in schools, narrowed to athletes), SB 248 (polling place closures for very small precincts), SB 104 (highway memorial designation), SB 122 (bridge preservation), SB 180 (disabled veterans’ homestead exemption transfer language), SB 260 (youth athletics safety training/Coach Safely Act), and SB 476 (garnishment service wording). It rejected House amendments to SB 441 on pre-kindergarten programs. SB 57 on nutrition cleanup, SB 414 on medical debt protection, SB 525 on unclaimed property purchases, SB 501 on postsecondary health information postings, and SB 276 on bail bond producer affidavits all advanced or passed, with SB 57 and SB 414 ultimately passing and SB 525 and SB 501 also receiving final passage. The Senate also adopted SCR 30, a resolution urging Congress to ensure accountability and release of Epstein-related files, and later took up SB 513, a pilot program involving average bid/design-build contracting for certain airport-related projects, which passed 25-10 after extended questioning about its purpose and safeguards. SB 484, revising higher education governance and removing LUMCON language in favor of a study commission, passed 36-1. In personal privilege remarks, senators recognized Louisiana Arts Day and introduced guest Ed Tillman. The chamber then began a long series of House bills, including HB 462 on the Capital Area Road and Bridge District board composition, HB 547 on photographing voter registration information, HB 613 on marking driver’s licenses with citizenship status, HB 691 on voter-roll verification through the federal SAVE system, and HB 712 waiving certain OMV fees for homeless individuals; several of these bills were explained and moved toward final passage as the session continued.
