On the first day of the legislative session, Governor Jeff Landry offered up his ideas on how to lower auto insurance rates. Colleen Crain has more…

Cut 3 (31) “…I’m Colleen Crain.”

There will be another attempt in this legislative session to ban the use of speed cameras that issue tickets for driving above the posted speed limit. Monroe Senator Stewart Cathey on why he opposes them…

Cut 5 (06) “…allow for that”

Cathey’s legislation says any traffic camera or speed limit enforcement device used for the purpose of issuing citations by mail is malfeasance in office.

The debate on tort reform legislation designed to lower auto insurance rates begins today in the House Civil Law Committee. The first bill on the agenda is a medial transparency bill by Slidell Representative Brian Glorioso. The legislation would allow defendants to put an expert witness on the stand to challenge a doctor’s bill.

Also on the agenda today is House Bill 431 by Baton Rouge Representative Emily Chenevert. Her legislation would make it harder for big payouts when distributing blame in a wreck where several drivers are at fault.

Cut 10 (10) “…didn’t go down”
