Louisiana

The 2024 legislative session in Louisiana has been extraordinary, reinforcing our state's foundation of freedom, safety, and prosperity.

Today, Governor Landry announced the appointment of Christopher Hebert as the Chairman of Louisiana Gaming Control Board. He is the first African-American to serve as Chairman.

Senators John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) announced $8,040,658 in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants for Louisiana disaster aid.

Shortly after concluding my time on the campaign trail, I wondered about what the first legislative session would look like.

Today, surrounded by legislators, educators, school kids, and community leaders, Governor Jeff Landry signed into law monumental bills that will transform our education system and bring back common sense in our classrooms.

Governor Jeff Landry signed Act 311 in the presence of Louisiana Association of Educators (LAE) State President Dr. Tia T. Mills, other LAE leaders, Senator Blake Miguez, sponsor of the bill, and other co-authors. 

Effective August 1, 2024, The Louisiana Squatter Prevention Act will become law as a result of the passing of House Bill (HR) 58 by Louisiana Representative Tony Bacala of District 59.

The Louisiana House of Representatives unanimously passed House Resolution (HR) 211, sponsored by Representative Rhonda Butler of District 38, on behalf of individuals with developmental disabilities (IDD) in emergency situations.

Gov. Jeff Landry will close state offices Wednesday in observance of Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

United States Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) announced Louisiana will receive $2,447,370.90 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as a result of Hurricane Ida.
