A House committee on Monday advanced a bill that would make it easier for victims and their families to sue illicit fentanyl distributors and even countries in which the drugs were made.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) The state Legislature could end public health emergency declarations by future governors under legislation approved Wednesday by a House committee in Baton Rouge. A 6-5 vote by the House and Governmental Affairs Committee sent the bill by Republican state Rep.
Current law already allows either chamber of the Legislature to cancel an entire emergency declaration by using a petition signed by a majority of its members.
