Bill Pearson will be one of many hoping for an extra special Father’s Day present in Omaha this weekend, but as the father of two LSU Tigers, his gift may be a cut above the rest. Kace Kieschnick has the story.

Cut 3 (32) “…I’m Kace Kieschnick.”

The 2025 Legislative session is in the books, and Leaders for a Better Louisiana Chief Policy Officer Barry Erwin calls it a significant session. Erwin noted legal changes to how car crashes are handled in court with hopes of bring down insurance rates and legislation that reorganizes the state Department of Transportation.

Cut 5 (09) “…more effectively.”

———————

Governor Jeff Landry is calling the legislative session a big success accomplishing quite a bit over its sixty day stretch including putting the people of Louisiana on a path to healthier living.

Cut 12 (08) “…generations to come.”

As for Attorney General Liz Murrill, the passage of House Bill 675 was the big legislative accomplishment for this session. It speeds up the post-conviction relief process in which inmates seek to have their sentences shortened or overturned. While its main focus is on death penalty cases, Murrill says it also ends the process of drawing out the appeals process for years and even decades, leaving victims’ families traumatized.

Cut 9 (09)  “…see this through.”

The bill is awaiting Governor Landry’s signature.
