Louisiana’s legislature convenes today to work on passing laws, with a focus on addressing various important issues. State Senate President Cameron Henry has prioritized giving teachers a permanent raise, instead of relying on a recurring stipend. He believes it is unfair for teachers to have to constantly ask for the stipend every year. Henry is determined to make changes and hopes to secure funding for a pay raise during this session.
In addition to teacher pay, other key issues on the agenda include allocating resources for Louisiana State Police, Children and Family Services, and the state Department of Health. The session will also tackle pressing matters such as high automobile insurance rates, tax exemptions, reforming the state’s tax system, and legislation related to the TOPS scholarship program.
Further topics to be discussed include the state’s congressional map, the regulation of THC products, law enforcement interactions with federal immigration officers, electronic monitoring for criminals, and more. The session is expected to address a wide range of issues impacting the state and its residents.
