Votes and actions at a glance from the Senate floor

Louisiana Senate · April 28, 2026

Summary

The Senate recorded a series of votes on concurrent resolutions, committee reports and bills on final passage and concurrence; key floor actions included adoption of SCR 45 (condolences), passage of SB 4‑69 and SB 2‑59, and returning SB 4‑84 to the calendar.

The Senate took multiple recorded actions on the floor session documented in the journal. Highlights include the unanimous adoption of a condolence resolution for Elise Trapp Alexander (SCR 45, recorded 38 yeas, 0 nays); final passage of infrastructure and regulatory bills including SB 4‑69 (underground utilities '811') and SB 4‑83 (Board of Pharmacy restructuring); and final passage of SB 2‑59 to authorize a statewide online protective‑order portal (recorded 38 yeas, 0 nays).

Not all measures were advanced: Senator Presley moved to return SB 4‑84 (a higher education/Board of Regents/LUMCON governance bill) to the calendar for additional drafting and negotiation after floor debate and questions about access and chairmanship. Several concurrent resolutions recognizing local sports and community days were adopted by voice or machine with recorded unanimous support.

Clerks and committee chairs also reported numerous bills favorably from committees and ordered many measures to be re‑engrossed and advanced for third reading. The journal records committee reports and the names of committee chairs responsible for those reports.
