Louisiana lawmakers concluded their 2025 legislative session on Thursday by passing the state’s $51 billion budget.

Both proposals had wide public interest but not enough GOP support.

With only two weeks left in the session, committee members voted to defer the remaining bills and adjourn.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed six insurance reform bills into law on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

Homeowners who have paid off their mortgage would be eligible.

On Wednesday, the Louisiana Senate Governmental Affairs Committee approved SB 214, a bill that would make the Insurance Commissioner an appointed position rather than an elected one.

A sweeping insurance bill advanced through the Senate Insurance Committee on Wednesday, though tensions flared over a controversial part that would expand the authority of Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple.

A Senate committee voted Wednesday to advance a bill that would make child grooming a crime. Under SB 58, those convicted of child grooming could face up to 25 years in prison if the victim is under the age of 13.

More insurance reform bills are making their way through the legislature including one that would crack down on personal injury attorney advertising.
