Great news! SB 136 was brought up for reconsideration on the floor of the Louisiana State Senate yesterday and passed by a margin of 11 votes (23 to 12)! The bill now moves to the Louisiana State House of Representatives where it will be assigned to committee. So stay tuned on dates and times committee meetings and how you can contact your representatives and express your support for SB 136.
Thanks again to Senatory Lydia Jackson for introducing the bill in the Senate and to all of you for doing your part by signing the petition and contacting your Senators and urging them to support the bill. We’re getting there!
