- ‘LaPolitics’: Despite losses, constitutional amendments keep coming
Louisiana lawmakers filed 42 constitutional amendment bills this year, with ten advancing to the November election. Key proposals include limiting governors to two terms, addressing debt repayment strategies, restricting post-conviction bail for child-related offenses, and property tax exemptions for rehabilitated blighted areas.
- Changes in store for Louisiana colleges under new state laws
Louisiana public universities will gain authority to increase tuition and fees under new state laws, while also addressing hazing and deepfake-related harassment. Laws passed include provisions for differential tuition, punishment for violent hazing, and classifying deepfakes as power-based violence.
