State lawmakers get back to business today as the regular session kicks off at noon. Insurance reform will be tops on the agenda as Homeowners in Louisiana pay about two thousand dollars a year for insurance and Louisiana ranks second only to Florida when it comes to highest car insurance rates.
A bill requiring automated enforcement devices to take a photo of the speeding driver not just the license plate of the vehicle is on the agenda this legislative session.
