- Louisiana deflates mylar balloon releases with new ban, starting in August
Louisiana has banned intentional outdoor releases of mylar and latex helium balloons, effective August 1, under a new law aimed at reducing environmental harm and wildlife threats. The law includes a $500 fine for first offenses and excludes those under 17 and biodegradable balloons, passing after the governor vetoed a similar bill last year.
