2013 Louisiana Regular Legislative Session

The 2013 Louisiana Regular Legislative Session will end at 6 PM on June 3, 2013.

After lengthy debate, SB 166 by Sen. Claitor was involuntarily deferred on a vote of 6-11 in the House Committee on Commerce, due to heavy lobbying and misinformation by the other side. Many thanks to all those who contacted legislators, and to Sen. Claitor for all his work to advance the issue.

HB 472 by Rep. Jay Morris is awaiting a hearing in the Senate Committee on Judiciary A. This is a good class action reform bill dealing with the certification of a class.

HB 321 by Rep. Huval is awaiting a hearing in the Senate Committee on Judiciary A. This bill provides for expedited jury trials.
