Summary: The House convened with a quorum, approved the prior day’s minutes, received a Senate message that Senate Bill 5489 had passed the Senate, and then took up several House bills on second and third reading. The main debate centered on Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2442, which would give local governments more flexibility to use certain local tax tools for public health clinics, housing, veterans’ assistance, and related purposes. Members offered and voted on multiple amendments, including proposals to require voter approval for tax increases and to strip out or narrow several tax authorizations; some amendments were adopted, including technical and limiting changes, while others were rejected. The bill ultimately passed the House 53-44. The House then passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1295, a literacy bill aimed at expanding evidence-based reading instruction and teacher training. Members described it as a long-overdue effort to improve reading outcomes, with supporters citing low grade-level reading proficiency and the need for scientifically based methods; a technical grammar amendment was adopted, and the bill passed 96-1. The chamber also passed Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2636, creating a steering committee and JLARC review process to examine school district regulations and unfunded mandates, with broad support and no opposition in the final vote. Other measures passed included Substitute House Bill 2650, making administrative changes to local tax notification and effective-date procedures, and Second Substitute House Bill 2590, which exempts limited equity cooperatives from certain common-interest-community requirements to support affordable housing. House Bill 2610 also passed, allowing nonprofit housing providers to use property for interim community purposes without losing tax benefits, and Substitute House Bill 2343 passed unanimously to require publicly operated facilities to follow the same water-quality discharge rules as private facilities, prompted by concerns about nitrate contamination linked to a state game farm in Centralia. The House also passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2225, regulating AI companion chatbots; amendments added public disclosure of crisis referrals, but a proposal to remove the private right of action failed. The bill passed 69-28 after supporters emphasized child safety and opponents raised concerns about litigation and privacy. The House then adjourned to caucus.

Summary: The House met with a quorum and spent much of the day on personal privileges, recognizing visiting groups and designating several commemorative days, including Sigma Gamma Rho Day, Alpha Kappa Alpha Day, Italian Festival royalty, Acadiana’s Red and White Day, and Louisiana Automobile Dealer Day. Members also welcomed students, civic leaders, former legislators, a state pageant titleholder, and a visiting African law enforcement delegation focused on combating human trafficking. The chamber received Senate bills and committee reports, and several resolutions were adopted without objection, including condolences resolutions and commendations for schools, festivals, and public service organizations. The House then took up a long series of bills, with many passing on final passage after brief debate or technical amendments. Measures addressed topics such as notification of inmate releases from parish jails and DOC facilities (HB 76), ethics and financial disclosure, video voyeurism involving deceased persons (HB 265, renamed the Jacob Carter Dignity and Death Act), health insurance claim practices (HB 291), victim access to parole testimony without fees (HB 32), special education due process burden of proof (HB 342), AI disclosure in medical settings (HB 475), the psychology interjurisdictional compact (HB 486), homelessness provider oversight (HB 616), AI disclosure in campaign calls (HB 639), Medicaid managed care claim review (HB 740), menhaden fishing restrictions (HB 757 and HB 855), HIV exposure law modernization (HB 808), and rare cancer treatment advisory board changes (HB 761). Most of these bills passed with strong support; HB 342 passed 98-3, HB 639 passed 86-9, HB 808 passed 99-0, and HB 855 drew the most extended debate, with supporters citing science-based conservation and opponents warning about harm to the menhaden industry and coastal jobs. The House also adopted committee amendments and set several major fiscal measures as special orders for April 16, including HB 1, HB 2, HB 3, HB 313, HB 383, HB 983, and HB 1126. Additional bills were advanced to third reading from committee reports, and the chamber returned some measures to the calendar for later consideration. Overall, the meeting was marked by ceremonial recognitions, a heavy legislative agenda, and multiple substantive policy votes across education, health, criminal justice, transportation, ethics, and natural resources.

Summary: The House convened with a quorum, approved the prior day’s minutes, received a Senate message that Senate Bill 5489 had passed the Senate, and relieved the Rules Committee on House Bills 2416 and 1526. The chamber then took up several bills on second and third reading, with debate often centered on local taxing authority, housing affordability, public health funding, education, and regulatory oversight. On Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2442, members debated whether local tax increases should require voter approval and whether the bill would add to property tax burdens; several amendments were adopted, including technical and substantive changes, but the bill ultimately passed 53-44. Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1295, dealing with evidence-based literacy instruction, received broad support after a technical grammar amendment was adopted. Supporters emphasized structured literacy, teacher training, and improving reading outcomes, while noting the bill was constrained by the session’s no-budget-impact environment. The bill passed overwhelmingly, 96-1. Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2636, creating a steering committee to review school district regulations and recommend repeal or modification of outdated or burdensome rules, also passed unanimously after a committee-name amendment was adopted. The House next passed Substitute House Bill 2650, an administrative local tax measure clarifying tax administration and timing for certain local rate changes, on a 96-0 vote after reconsideration. Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2225, regulating AI companion chatbots, drew the most emotional debate; supporters cited testimony about children harmed by chatbot interactions and argued for guardrails, while opponents raised concerns about the private right of action and litigation risk. An amendment to require public disclosure of crisis referral notifications was adopted, but an amendment to remove the private right of action failed; the bill passed 69-28. The chamber also passed Second Substitute House Bill 2590 on limited equity cooperatives for affordable housing, House Bill 2610 to help nonprofit housing providers use property for community purposes without losing tax benefits, and Substitute House Bill 2343 to require publicly operated facilities to follow the same water discharge rules as private facilities, with supporters citing nitrate contamination concerns in Centralia. After these votes, both caucuses announced meetings and the House went at ease.
