Bossier Parish Police Jury ratifies resolutions opposing two 2026 state bills
Summary
The jury ratified resolutions opposing House Bill No. 620 and House Bill No. 658 of the 2026 Regular Legislative Session, citing concerns those bills could reduce local revenue-collection authority and impose unfunded mandates; votes were ratified without recorded opposition.
The Bossier Parish Police Jury ratified two resolutions opposing House Bill No. 620 and House Bill No. 658 of the 2026 Regular Legislative Session. The resolutions argue the proposed legislation could limit local governments’ authority to collect sales and use taxes (HB 620) or otherwise diminish parish authority and impose administrative burdens without funding (HB 658), and the jury urged legislators to oppose the bills.
Both resolutions were ratified as recorded actions from the March 27, 2026 session and were presented for ratification at the April 1 meeting; jurors voted to ratify both resolutions unanimously and authorized transmission of copies to the parish legislative delegation and the Police Jury Association of Louisiana.
