  • 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.

  • LHA Support List for 2011 Elections
    HOSPPAC Support List for 2011 Elections The LHA’s political action committee, HOSPPAC, and its Board of Directors has issued its support to candidates in the upcoming 2011 Election. Support criteria are based on several factors, including key votes, committee assignments, member recommendations and relationships. The selections were made based on the candidate’s support for issues critical to promoting the role and importance of hospitals in our communities. PLEASE SUPPORT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT #3 We hope that you will consider supporting Constitutional Amendment #3, HB 341 by Rep. Chris Hazel regarding the Louisiana Patient’s Compensation Fund (PCF), which will be on the October 22 ballot. Amendment No. 3 ‐ Protecting the Patient’s Compensation Fund (PCF): Seeks to protect the Patient Compensation Fund, which is used to pay medical malpractice claims, from being used by the state or otherwise appropriated for any purpose other than paying medical malpractice claims. Yes ‐ A vote FOR would protect The Patient’s Compensation Fund from legislative appropriation by establishing it in the Constitution to only be used for the benefit of medical malpractice claimants and qualified healthcare providers. No ‐ A vote AGAINST would retain the existing statutory definition of the Patient’s Compensation Fund, which could subject the fund to appropriation by the legislature for other budgeting purposes. The PCF was created to provide affordable, medical malpractice coverage to all private healthcare providers and to provide a certain, stable source of compensation for legitimate injured parties of medical malpractice. If passed, the language in the constitutional amendment would settle several legal debates that have the potential to hinder the activities of PCF.
