Regular legislative session through Apr. 2, 2022

Activity was a bit muted this week as the Legislature adjourned the session Tuesday to work in a veto session, which as it could have lasted five days necessitated standing down until the beginning of next week. Bill filing continued, as this is a general session.

THE GOOD: HB 884 by Rep. Beau Beaullieu would create a more realistic process for computing the state’s expenditure limit

THE BAD: HB 880 by Rep. Wilford Carter would institute an excessive state minimum wage; SB 403 by Sen. Joseph Bouie adds unnecessary costs to school districts and charter schools; SB 410 by Sen. Katrina Jackson unduly restricts discretionary personnel decisions by businesses.

THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 166 passed House committee; HB 681 with minor amendment passed committee.
