    Weekly Legislative Digest

    Louisiana Federation of Teachers Weekly Legislative Digest May 1, 2015 Steve Monaghan, President * Les Landon, Editor 2015 Regular Legislative Session Now available on the Web at http://la.aft.org Panel votes to silence public employees Despite the best arguments of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public servants, the House Labor and Industrial Relations Committee approved a bill that will make it inconvenient for employees to join and maintain membership in the union or association of their choice. The purpose of HB 418 by Rep. Stuart Bishop (R-Lafayette) is to weaken unions like the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and Louisiana Association of Educators. These are the groups that have raised questions about, and led the opposition to, so-called “reforms” backed by big business that all too often result in the privatization of education and diminution of the teaching profession. HB 418 would revoke the right of public employees to pay their union or association dues through payroll deduction. Since local governments currently have the authority to grant payroll deduction, the bill is seen by school boards and others as legislative meddling in their prerogatives. The bill is the brainchild of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, which has been twisting the arms of lawmakers to force its passage. The big business lobby recruited the Koch brothers backed Americans for Prosperity to publicly promote the bill. It is an example of what columnist Stephanie Grace, in another context, called “an ugly yet ascendant strain in American politics, a willingness to use any means necessary, no matter what chaos ensues or who gets hurt.” The vitriol motivating the bill’s supporters was on full display when an amendment was proposed to exempt the teacher unions from its prohibitions.

    The 2016 Legislature: Boomsday

Finally, we believe that information sharing. prosecutors are the best and most trustworthy resource for legislative improvements to the criminal justice system. THE 2016 LEGISLATURE: BOOMSDAY The Governor's FY 16-17 budget is due to be released next Tuesday, April 12. When the numbers are available, we will know how the boom will be lowered concerning the DA line- item. Remember, this budget will be a worst-case scenario and will assume no additional revenues prior to July 1. The Louisiana Indigent Defender Board would be reorganized under a compromise version of HB 818. The Criminal Justice Committee approved a substitute bill, which will get a new number on the House floor. It reduces the number of Board members from 15 to 11; removes the four law professors; gives local PDs more input; and mandates that 65% of the appropriated funds be spent on local PDs. Look for LACDL and the boutique law firm, anti- death penalty gang to try to kill this in the Senate. Changing the Age of Juvenile Jurisdiction to include 17-year-olds is a major piece in the Governor's legislative agenda.

    Louisiana State University Student Government

    Louisiana State University Student Government Dear LSU Students and Friends, Students in the state of Louisiana are more relevant than ever before. Before the release of the first Higher Education Report Card, students pursuing a degree were not valued in the state of Louisiana—proven by the 41% cut to higher education over the past 8 years. Contrary to popular belief, investment in higher education is the best societal investment that our state lawmakers can make. Because of our initial report card, leaders in the legislature are listening. The Higher Education Report Card is a huge step forward in ensuring that students are heard in the state of Louisiana. The requests are clear. We want stability in higher education and a sincere commitment to invest in the future of our students. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the governor and lawmakers for their work during the longest legislative session in the history of the state. Unfortunately, a session ending in a fully funded higher education and a partially funded TOPS is not ideal for Louisiana’s students. My hope is that the Higher Education Report Card can shed light onto the difficult votes that our lawmakers made during these sessions to ensure that our education would be fully funded. At the same time, I hope students will see that some of their own lawmakers are still not valuing our education as much as they can. We also hope that students will continue to be involved with the affairs of our state capitol by participating in marches and making calls to their legislators.

    Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives

    MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024 Revised – July 28, 2021 David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives 1 2 PREFACE This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission. The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years. Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision. The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.) The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814.

Throughout the day you will hear from leaders and legislators about key issues and how they affect Louisiana’s women, their children, and their communities. We will also discuss proposed legislation, its potential impacts on Louisiana’s women, and ways you can influence state policies. Our goal is for you to learn more about the legislative process and to have opportunities to speak with your legislators. To that end, we are providing you with this toolkit that you can use to make your voice heard on these issues today and in the future. We hope you will enjoy this opportunity to network with other advocates, will gain deeper insights into how all of these social justice issues affect women across our state, and will take charge of your power to influence state policies.

    Education, and Financial Stability of Every Person

    KIM SPORT, Public Policy Chair The United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA) 2019 Public Policy Legislative Agenda, “United for a Safe & Prosperous Community,” continues our advocacy fighting for the health, education, and financial stability of every person. This agenda is aligned with United Way’s Blueprint for Prosperity, our plan to eradicate poverty in Southeast Louisiana, and lifts up ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) – households who are living paycheck to paycheck, one financial emergency from falling into poverty. UWSELA’s Public Policy team worked closely with state legislators, the governor’s staff, and collaborative partners to ensure successful passage of legislation which will help create a better, stronger community for all. We’d like to wish a special thank you to Governor John Bel Edwards for his extraordinary leadership throughout the 2019 Louisiana Legislative Session. We are also grateful to Louisiana representatives and senators who served as United Way’s 2019 Legislative Champions for education, financial stability, health, and community strengthening issues during this session, including: Senators John Alario, Conrad Appel, Regina Barrow, Wesley Bishop, Troy Carter, Yvonne Colomb, Randal Gaines, Ronnie Johns, Eric LaFleur, Danny Martiny, Beth Mizell and JP Morrell; Representatives Neil Abramson, Larry Bagley, Taylor Barras, Joseph Bouie, Steve Carter, Mary DuBuisson, Royce Duplessis, Cameron Henry, Stephanie Hilferty, Walt Leger III, Joseph Marino, John Stefanski, Julie Stokes, Kirk Talbot and Malinda White. Thank you to UWSELA’s Board of Trustees, Public Policy Committee, Women United, staff, volunteers, and collaborative partners who advocated and gave public testimony during session. Information on all legislative bills can be found on the Louisiana State Legislature’s website.
