Senate approves bill allowing nursing facilities to install alternative power sources
Summary
House Bill 10 95 cleared final passage after a technical amendment; sponsors said the bill allows nursing homes to use alternative power generation (including solar) rather than relying solely on fuel, and it passed 38-0.
House Bill 10 95, carried in the Senate by Senator McMath, cleared final passage after the Senate adopted a technical amendment that removed the word "permanently" from a generator-related provision. Senator McMath described the bill as allowing nursing facilities to install alternative power generation sources — noting the discussion contemplated solar options — rather than requiring reliance on fuel alone.
"Basically changed the word department to the Louisiana Department of Health 9 times... and they changed SNAP to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program 5 times, and they changed the reporting date to 03/01/2027," Senator Abraham (floor remarks about amendments) said during consideration of related amendments on the calendar. Following adoption of the amendment, the Senate voted 38 yeas and 0 nays to pass the bill.
