NOTE: Arranged from top to bottom according to time order they are being presented in the legislature. OR IMPORTANCE. otherwise by number, House first.
See:https://marionfreistadt.wixsite.com/lccv/submit-comments for most of my submitted comments, for example:
Penny's letter to Reps about HB488-opposition to blockchain development in Louisiana
NOTE: I'm trying to keep this updated throughout the legislative session. This is not identical to other lists. Subject to revision! Some of these bills are confusing! SEE "Submit Public comments" Tab for what to tell your Legislator. OK to copy comments. This Wix site won't let me link to the LEGIS site in the Table, so you have to go to https://legis.la.gov/legis/Home.aspx to find bills and info.
Most recent update: 4 15 .2024
