Supercharging Spending for Parish Councils on Aging by Over $3.5 Million.
Against GOP
This bill increases the per-person allotment for parish councils on aging to $4.00 (previously $2.50) per resident 60 or older, or $150,000 (previously $100,000), whichever is greater. The bill also increases the minimum annual appropriation to the Office of Elderly Affairs, from $6.9 million to over $10.4 million, an increase of over 52%. The state must pursue every available avenue to rein in its out-of-control spending, which, when coupled with the over $185 trillion in federal liabilities, represents the greatest existential threat facing this country.

Giving the Insurance Commissioner Unchecked Power to Set Home and Car Insurance Rates.
Against GOP
This bill allows the Commissioner of Insurance to disapprove insurance rates deemed "excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory." Previously, this authority was limited to disapproving rates for being "inadequate or unfairly discriminatory" in a competitive market or "excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory" in a noncompetitive market. The bill also requires insurance companies renewing homeowners' or private passenger motor vehicle policies to display the prior premium amount alongside the renewal premium. This bill is government overreach that hands the Insurance Commissioner unchecked power to reject rate increases deemed "excessive," effectively enabling state-sanctioned price fixing, discouraging insurers from investing in the state, reducing market competition, and ultimately driving up insurance premiums for consumers.

Promoting Workforce Reentry Through Weekly Job Search Requirements for Unemployment Recipients.
With GOP
This bill requires that those receiving unemployment benefits must conduct at least five work search actions each week. The bill also expands disqualification criteria to include failing to appear for a scheduled job interview or participate in an approved training program. Additionally, the bill directs the secretary of the Louisiana Workforce Commission to establish a form for employers to report suspected work search violations. Combatting fraud within the state's unemployment insurance system is critical to maintaining low payroll taxes for businesses which are forced to pay into the system.

Strengthening Release Eligibility Standards for Parole, Diminution of Sentence, and Deportation-Only Parole for Certain Non-Citizen Offenders.
With GOP
This bill reforms criminal sentencing and release eligibility by tightening rules for parole and diminution of sentence (good time credits), including requiring no major disciplinary offenses for 36 months (previously 12) prior to parole consideration, prohibiting habitual offenders and those convicted of sex offenses from earning good time credits, clarifying split sentences and probation periods, addressing convictions while on unsupervised parole, and creating a Deportation Eligibility Hearing Committee within the Board of Pardons. This committee handles expedited hearings to determine if certain illegal alien offenders meet criteria for parole release solely for the purpose of deportation or removal by federal authorities.

Bringing Down the Cost of Prescription Drugs by Reigning in PBMs.
With GOP
This bill enacts comprehensive reforms to regulate Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), including a ban on spread pricing (PBMs keeping the difference between what they charge plans and pay pharmacies), effective rate pricing for local pharmacies, and patient steering (directing patients to PBM-owned pharmacies without proper disclosure). It requires PBMs to pass through 100% of manufacturer rebates and discounts to plan sponsors rather than retaining any portion, with full disclosure of all PBM fees in contracts. The bill also expands transparency through detailed annual reports, audits by the Insurance Commissioner, and enforcement as unfair insurance practices. PBMs inflate prescription drug costs and reduce competition, ultimately driving up healthcare expenses for Louisiana consumers and threatening access to affordable medications.
Chapter 4 – Bring Back the American Dream and Make it Affordable Again for Families, Young People, and Everyone – Section #3 – Affordable Healthcare: Healthcare and prescription drug costs are out of control.

Protecting the Second Amendment and Ammunition Manufacturers From Frivolous and Costly Litigation.
With GOP
This bill expands civil liability protections to include firearm and ammunition manufacturers, distributors, and sellers for damages resulting from the criminal or unlawful use of their products. Previously, the protection only included firearm manufacturers and sellers. Additionally, the bill provides that in a civil lawsuit, if the defendant is found not liable based on these protections, courts are required to award the defendant attorney fees, costs, expenses, and compensation for lost income. Similarly, if a locality brings a civil lawsuit for such damages, which is precluded by state law, courts are required to award the defendant reasonable attorney fees, court costs, compensation for lost income, and all expenses.

Stopping Out-of-Control Spending by Establishing a "Government Growth Limit" Restricting General Fund Appropriations.
With GOP
This bill amends the state Constitution to establish a "Government Growth Limit," which restricts the amount of State General Fund revenues that can be appropriated in a fiscal year for recurring expenses, starting in Fiscal Year 2027-2028. The limit would be determined annually by the Revenue Estimating Conference. Any revenues above the "Government Growth Limit" but less than the "Expenditure Limit" may only be used for nonrecurring expenses. The growth limit may be changed by a 2/3 vote of each chamber of the legislature, but only if the growth factor in the previous 3 years was 2.5% or less. The state must pursue every available avenue to rein in its out-of-control spending, which, when coupled with the over $185 trillion in federal liabilities, represents the greatest existential threat facing this country.

This bill allows the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism (DCRT) to exceed the $250,000 project limit for building and facility repairs, renovation, or construction without such projects being included in the capital outlay budget. It amends state law to establish a "contract limit" of $1,000,000 for public works projects undertaken directly by DCRT, allowing these smaller projects to proceed outside the standard capital outlay budget process and without certain competitive bidding or other requirements typically applied to larger contracts.

Earmarks for NGOs in broad budget bills often lack sufficient oversight and enable cronyism, waste limited state resources, and bypassing merit-based allocation.

Reforming the Tax Code Within the Cigar Industry to Temporarily End Excessive Taxation of Premium Cigars.
With GOP
This bill temporarily establishes a maximum tax of 50 cents per cigar. Previously, cigars invoiced by the manufacturer at more than $120 per 1,000 were taxed at 20% (cigars invoiced at $120 per 1,000 or less are taxed at 8%). In 2026 and 2027, for cigars invoiced at more than $120 but less than $2,500 per 1,000, the tax rate remains at 20%. For cigars invoiced at $2,500 or more per 1,000, the tax rate is set at 50 cents per cigar. Beginning in 2028, the tax rate reverts to 20% for cigars invoiced at more than $120 per 1,000. This bill serves as a step in the right direction. Tobacco usage is an individual liberty, and products should only be subject to the standard sales tax rate. Users should not be punished through a 20% "sin tax".

This bill allows exceptions for certain situations, such as emergencies, pregnancy-related care, substance use treatment, blood donation, and cases where the minor is experiencing abuse or neglect. The bill also eliminates a provision in existing law that allowed minors to consent to preventive counseling and treatment in schools. Strong parental rights are a critical element of a free society.

Reducing Auto Insurance Premiums by Increasing the Threshold for Uninsured Drivers to Recover Damages.
With GOP
This bill strengthens the state's "No Pay, No Play" law, which limits the ability of uninsured drivers to recover damages in motor vehicle accidents. Under the bill, the recovery threshold for uninsured drivers is increased from $100,000 (previously $15,000 for bodily injury and $25,000 for property damage). As a result, uninsured drivers involved in accidents cannot recover the first $100,000 in damages, regardless of fault. Additionally, if an uninsured driver files a civil action and is awarded damages equal to or less than the threshold, they are responsible for all court costs.

Lawfully-present non-U.S. citizens may receive a driver's license or identification card, which must include a restriction code. Additionally, OMV must send these individuals a notice stating that noncitizens are prohibited by state law from registering to vote or voting in Louisiana, with violations constituting a felony punishable by up to 2 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,000.

This bill contains several provisions designed to improve the state's ability to combat Medicaid and other medical assistance program fraud. Most notably, the bill specifies that for such offenses, "proof of specific intent to defraud" is not required. The bill also broadens the scope of violations that constitute medical assistance fraud offenses. For example, the bill adds knowingly making a claim under a medical assistance program for products or services that were not approved or prescribed by a healthcare provider. This bill improves the ability to combat Medicaid fraud, which, combined with Medicare fraud, costs taxpayers across the nation more than $100 billion annually.

Prohibiting NGOs and Foreign Governments from Funding and Influencing Elections.
With GOP
This bill prohibits nongovernmental groups and foreign governments or foreign nationals from funding the administration of election operations. Additionally, funds or services donated by a foreign government or foreign national may not be used to advocate for or against a ballot measure, candidate, or party. This is in response to the over $400 million in "Zuckerbucks" and other outside funds that were provided to influence elections across the nation. The private funding of election operations introduces serious concerns over the integrity and fairness of election outcomes. Maintaining strong safeguards against voter fraud is critical aspects of ensuring free and fair elections, an essential component of democracy under our nation's constitutional republic. Furthermore, this bill helps strengthen democracy and ensure American elections remain free from foreign interference.

Hiking Energy Costs by Imposing Overreaching Regulations on Solar Energy Facilities.
Against GOP
This bill allows the state and local governments to adopt regulations related to solar generation facilities. The bill requires a permit for a solar generation facility with a footprint of 10 acres or more. In order to obtain a permit, an application must include a decommissioning plan, proof of financial security, and letters of clearance from the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Additionally, if the solar generation facility is not within an industrial zone or Louisiana Economic Development certified site, the site must include a "buffer" containing setbacks and a "vegetative barrier" consisting of "native vegetation." The bill mandates minimum setbacks and "vegetative barrier" requirements based on the type of property bordered by the facility, imposes noise level limits, and prohibits spraying any chemicals for maintenance at the facility unless a plan for usage is approved by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry and the applicable parish. The bill also prohibits the use of "lenses or mirrors to concentrate large amounts of sunlight" and agreements that would allow U.S. foreign adversaries or prohibited foreign actors to use agricultural land for solar development. Finally, the bill requires a permit to install a battery for renewable energy storage facilities, which requires proof of financial security and a decommissioning plan. These unnecessary new regulations will drive-up electricity costs for consumers, businesses and taxpayers.

This bill directs the Department of Energy and Natural Resources "to prioritize affordable, reliable, and clean energy security." Under the bill, this includes prioritizing U.S.-produced energy sources, minimizing reliance on foreign nations for critical materials or manufacturing, and ensuring sufficient renewable energy sources, which must include energy generated by hydrocarbons. Additionally, the bill clarifies that nuclear energy and natural gas are included in the definition of "green energy" if they meet federal air quality standards, for purposes of state funding of clean or green energy initiatives. Low-cost energy is essential to growing the economy and improving the quality of life for all Americans. With renewable energy only accounting for about 20 percent of the U.S. energy supply, the country must adopt an "all of the above" approach to energy production that balances environmental concerns with the need to provide Americans with the lowest possible energy costs.

Hiking Health Insurance Premiums by Mandating Coverage for Proton Therapy for Cancer.
Against GOP
This bill requires most health insurance plans offered in the state to provide coverage for proton therapy or proton beam therapy when recommended for cancer treatment by the American Society for Radiation Oncology practice guidelines. Each and every health insurance mandate prevents an individual from selecting a plan with just basic or customized coverages to fit their specific needs. As a result, health insurers are forced to only offer costly plans loaded with coverages that most individuals do not need. This can result in lower-income or younger individuals choosing to purchase no insurance plan at all due to the high cost.

Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #4 – Republicans Will Protect and Defend a Vote of the People, from within the States, on the Issue of Life: We proudly stand for families and Life. We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights. After 51 years, because of us, that power has been given to the States and to a vote of the People. We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments).

Blowing the Budget by Expanding the New Markets Tax Credit Program.
Against GOP
This bill expands the premium tax credit program for investments in qualified low-income community businesses. The bill increases the cap on eligible investment per business to $10 million (previously $5 million) for investments made on or after August 1, 2025. Additionally, the bill authorizes up to $150 million in qualified equity investment authority beginning August 1, 2025, which the bill's fiscal note states "provides an additional $82.5" million in premium tax credits. Similar New Markets programs in other states have delivered dismal returns— such as costing Alabama $92,000 and Missouri $146,000 per job created, or yielding just $0.18 in tax revenue per dollar spent in Florida— making this expansion likely to exacerbate Louisiana's budget shortfalls without meaningfully boosting economic growth or job creation in low-income areas.

Protecting Against Higher Consumer Costs by Limiting Awards of Medical Expenses in Personal Injury Litigation to Actual Expenses Paid.
With GOP
This bill modifies existing state law on recovery of medical expenses in civil actions. The bill provides that in cases where a claimant's medical expenses have been paid, in whole or in part, by a health insurance company, Medicaid, or Medicare to a contracted healthcare provider, the claimant's recovery is limited to the amount actually paid to the provider by the insurer or Medicare, and any applicable cost-sharing amounts paid or owed by the claimant, rather than the amount billed. This bill helps protect against higher consumer costs by reducing the risk faced by businesses in litigation and discouraging frivolous litigation.

Strengthening Government Transparency by Establishing a Public Database of NGOs that Receive State Funds.
With GOP
This bill enacts the "Transparent Responsible Use of State Tax-dollars (T.R.U.S.T.) Act," which requires the Commissioner of Administration to establish a publicly-accessible online database containing information on nongovernment entities (NGOs) that receive state funds. This includes information such as the purpose of contracts or appropriations, and whether the recipients met those purposes or performance goals. Recipients are also prohibited from engaging in political activities, such as endorsing candidates. The bill also prohibits public officials and employees, and their immediate family members, from receiving anything of value from an NGO that receives state funds (previously, this was permitted but required to be reported). Finally, the bill also prohibits NGOs from using state funds for lobbying or political contributions.
Chapter 9 – Government Of, By, and For the People – Section #1 – Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government: We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents.

Reducing the Surveillance State and "Taxation through Citation" by Restricting Speed Cameras to School Zones.
With GOP
This bill restricts the use of automated traffic enforcement devices, including speed cameras and red-light cameras to school zones. Additionally, the bill requires painted notices on roads before the entrance of each school zone, and signs notifying that such cameras are present. These systems have been abused by countless local governments across the nation to produce revenue, many of which place such devices not at spots closest to schools but at locations most likely to catch speeders.
