Louisiana House moves late bill‑intro deadline, adopts multiple resolutions and receives committee reports
Summary
The Louisiana House of Representatives voted to suspend a 72‑hour late‑introduction rule for bills, adopted a set of ceremonial resolutions without objection and received a bundle of committee reports advancing dozens of bills to later stages.
The Louisiana House of Representatives on April 15 voted to suspend a rule that would have set the late bill‑introduction deadline on Easter Sunday, moved or adopted several ceremonial resolutions without objection and received committee reports that advanced dozens of bills to later stages of the legislative process.
The chamber approved a motion to suspend House Rule 7.683, changing the late‑introduction deadline for bill requests from Easter Sunday to Monday, April 21, at 6 p.m. The change was made by motion on the floor and adopted without objection.
Why it matters: shifting the 72‑hour deadline affects when members and staff may submit bills for consideration this session and gives offices an additional business day to file proposed legislation after the holiday.
