There will be several changes within the Department of Children and Family Services as a result of the just-completed legislative session. Baton Rouge Senator Regina Barrow initially sought to abolish the agency altogether. While that quest went nowhere, she was able to get a bill to the governor’s desk that adds a law enforcement liaison within the department.

Cut 3 (12) “…and Family Services.”

Governor Jeff Landry signed a bill into law yesterday, eliminating the vehicle inspection sticker program.  Stonewall Representative Larry Bagley authored the bill and credited Landry for helping pass the legislation.

Cut 6 (07) “…answer the questions.”

The inspection sticker is being replaced with a six-dollar QR code that arrives in the mail that provides law enforcement with the VIN.

The Senate is holding a hearing today on the Protect College Sports Act. Kace Kieschnick reports.

Cut 2 (35) “…I’m Kace Kieschnick.”

Not only will drivers save money by not having to have their vehicles inspected every year, but they can also save money at the gas pumps – at least compared to recent weeks. Louisiana’s average for a gallon of regular stands at $3.80, which is down 3 cents from the prior day, and 17 cents lower than the same time last week.
