Louisiana Legislature

The Louisiana Legislature is the law-making body of the state, responsible for creating and passing laws. It consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Members are elected by the public, and they represent different districts across the state. The Legislature meets annually to discuss issues, propose new laws, and amend existing ones. It plays a crucial role in shaping state policy, budgeting, and addressing the needs of Louisiana residents. The legislative process involves drafting bills, committee reviews, debates, and voting before a bill can become law, often requiring the governor's approval.
