Louisiana Legislature 2009 PDF Print E-mail

Monday, June 22, 2009 was Pro-Life , Pro-Family day at the Capitol and it was a big success.  The group was energized and excited about participating in the process.  Things went very smoothly and as pictured above, citizens were able to speak with the Senators about HB 517, the right of conscience bill.  Around lunch time, the people who came met with Sen. Crowe and a representative of the Governor’s office.  Most impressive was the number of children who came with their parents.

 

A few hours after the citizens left the Capitol, having spoken with many of the Senators, the Senate passed the bill with only 2 votes against.  HB 517 has now cleared the Legislature and is on the Governor's desk for his signature!


OUR POSITION: Support
STATUS:  Passed the House, Passed the House.  Sent to the Governor.

 

SB 136  by Sen. Jackson allows a restaurant to operate as a bar without requiring a new permit and without the restrictions placed on bars.  Essentially creates “barstaurants”. 

OUR POSITION: Oppose

STATUS: Passed the Senate. Passed the House.  Has been sent to the Governor.

HB 340 by Rep. Henry places a Constitutional Amendment on the ballot for the voters. The amendment prohibits government infringement of the right of every person to freely express his religious beliefs. Gives protection over religious expression
OUR POSITION: Support
STATUS: Passed House, Passed the Senate, Pending House Concurrence with Senate Amendments
SB 115 by Sen. Martiny prohibits the creation of human and animal hybrids.
OUR POSITION: Support
STATUS: Passed the Senate,Passed the House, Pending the Governor's signature

HB 60 by Rep. Perry strengthens Louisiana law dealing with adoption and birth certificates. A current lawsuit in federal court seeks to require Louisiana to list 2 homosexual men as “parents” on a child’s birth certificate.

OUR POSITION: Support
STATUS: Passed the Senate Health & Welfare Committee.  Pending on the Senate Floor.  Please call your State Senator and ask him/her to support this bill.


SCR 2 by Sen. Crowe is a resolution to reassert Louisiana's state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

OUR POSITION: Support

STATUS: Pending on the Senate Floor 


SB 289 by Sen. Appel will provide for a more efficient mechanism for distributing funds collected from the sale of Choose Life license plates.
OUR POSITION: Support
STATUS: Passed the Senate. Passed the House.  Has been sent to the Governor.


SCR 7 by Sen. Dorsey would resurrect the Equal Rights Amendment in Louisiana. Passage in both houses of the Louisiana Legislature would be equivalent to ratification for our state. SCR 7 also encourages Congress to revive the ERA even though the time limit for ratification in the states has expired.
OUR POSITION: Oppose
STATUS: Defeated in Senate & Governmental Affairs
