Governor Landry signed a bill today that would allow non felon adults to conceal carry without a permit in Louisiana. New Orleans Representative Mandie Landry would like to see legislation approved in the regular session that clearly defines where you can and cannot carry a firearm.
House Bill 627 would define that a firearm is prohibited within 1,000 feet of a parade or a demonstration at a government entity, for example, a rally at the state capitol.
Legislation that allows law abiding citizens 18 and older to conceal carry a firearm in a restaurant that serves alcohol will be heard in the upcoming regular session. New Iberia Senator Blake Miguez points out his bill prohibits conceal carry in bars where more than 50 percent of its sale is alcohol. And all the current safeguards in the law would remain.
Cut 4 (06) “…negligent manner.”
Jennings Representative Troy Romero has pre-filed a bill for the regular session to allow the Department of Child and Family Services to prohibit the purchase of unhealthy foods with SNAP benefits.
Cut 7 (11) “…processed foods.”
The bill would direct DCFS to partner with healthcare providers to produce educational materials to educate SNAP beneficiaries about healthy alternatives. Romera says the bill has the support of Governor Landry along with DCFS Secretary David Matlock.
One of the new bills signed into law by Governor Landry today expands Louisiana’s death penalty methods and seals the records of how the state obtains drugs to carry out a lethal injection. Critics believes this will increase the prison population and cost the state more money to house prisoners. But Landry says criminals are already costing the state billions
