Capitol Briefing: Louisiana domestic violence bill gets unexpected pushback from gun lobby

Capitol Briefing: Louisiana domestic violence bill gets unexpected pushback from gun lobby From wire reports A legislative proposal that would make it easier for victims of domestic violence to apply for a temporary restraining order has come under fire from Louisiana s powerful gun lobby though its proponents aren t exactly sure why. House Bill 55 from New Orleans Democratic Rep. Aimee Adatto Freeman would remove the requirement that an application for a temporary restraining order include a notarized affidavit. Instead, it would allow applicants to provide a written affirmation, signed by a witness, that the facts included in the petition are true.

Spanking in Louisiana schools: House committee advances bill to ban

View Comments A bill that would ban corporal punishment in Louisiana s public schools cleared the state House Education Committee Wednesday after testimony described the practice as egregious, violent and child abuse. Metairie Republican Rep. Stephanie Hilferty s House Bill 324 would outlaw the practice of paddling, spanking or any other form of corporal punishment in the state s 69 public school systems. An amendment excluded private and parochial schools from the bill. Corporal punishment is state-sponsored child abuse, testified Susan East Nelson, executive director of the Louisiana Partnership for Children and Families. The bill advanced on a 9-2 vote by the committee, which sent it to the full House.

Capitol Briefing: Houma lawmaker wants New Orleans area -- not Louisiana taxpayers -- to pay for city s levees

Capitol Briefing: Houma lawmaker wants New Orleans area not Louisiana taxpayers to pay for city s levees From wire reports Houma lawmaker wants N.O. to pay levee bill A measure headed to the House directs the governing authorities in New Orleans and four suburban parishes to devise a plan to pay off the state s share of the $14.5 billion post-Katrina hurricane levee system. The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Jerome Zee Zeringue, R- Houma, asks officials in Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard and St. Charles parishes to report back to the Legislature with a plan by Dec. 1. That takes a softer approach than another proposal which would up the region s sales tax without seeking input from local residents.
