The “Protecting Teachers Rights Act” which provides teachers and administrators with civil and criminal immunity if they intervene in a physical fight on campus was signed into law by Governor John Bel Edwards. Denham Springs Representative Valarie Hodges – the bill author – says this gives teachers added protection.
Cut 3 (10) “…passed overwhelmingly.”
The bill gained support from the House of Representatives and Senate.
The governor has also signed legislation requiring private health insurance to cover the cost of fertility preservation for those undergoing medical treatments for cancer or other illnesses that could affect their fertility. Baton Rouge Representative Paula Davis patients will now have the option to freeze their eggs or sperm before treatments begin.
Davis says this is welcome news to individuals who could be faced with a loss of fertility on top of a cancer diagnosis.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is warning the public of potential fish kills due to scorching hot temperatures, extended cloudy weather, and storms. Aquatic organisms usually repopulate affected areas by dispersing from nearby, connected, unaffected areas. Inland Fisheries Technical Advisor Robby Maxwell says systems normally recover on their own.
To report fish kill, visit wlf.louisiana.gov and call the number related to the district you live in.
