Summary
The Louisiana Senate convened March 9, 2026, the presiding officer established a quorum and Senator Mizell opened the session with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The journal for the day was adopted without objection.
The Louisiana Senate convened at 12:13 p.m. and the presiding officer asked members to vote their machines for roll call; the chair later announced, "33 members present in a quorum." The Clerk read the official journal for March 9, 2026, and Senator Mizell moved to dispense with and adopt the reading "without objection."
Senator Mizell opened the session in prayer, quoting Nahum 1:3: "The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will not at all acquit the wicked." After the prayer the senator led the chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Senate proceeded to introduce bills and resolutions and to take up routine calendar business.
