Legislative special session through Mar. 15, 2008

The 2008 Extraordinary Session of the Louisiana Legislature took just a week, and in terms of the good bills (there were no bad ones) outlined in last week’s post, it’s pretty clear what happened: every one was at least heard in committee in their originating house, but only two had any progress:

THE GOOD: SB 5 with minor amendments passed committee, passed with major amendments the Senate, passed House committee, passed with minor amendments the House, was concurred in by the Senate, and sent to the governor; SB 11 passed committee, passed with minor amendments the Senate, passed with minor amendments House committee, passed with minor amendments the House, was concurred in by the Senate, and sent to the governor.

The final disposition of these two bills will be reported next week, as well as (finally) the first listing of prefiled legislation for the regular session.
