What’s ahead for state session 2026?
Louisiana’s state legislative session starts on March 9th. How does LAFPC show up?
Find our bill tracker below. We work with our community across the state and coalitions in Envireonmental Justice, Energy, Healthcare and Children’s advocacy to identify where we should be looking during session. Please reach out if something’s missing! It’s a team effort to stay on top of a fast-moving state session.
State of the Session Calls
Four times during the session, we host evening calls for people of all skill levels and familiarity to ‘come as they are’ and listen to what’s moving on the floor and how to get involved. This is for anyone in the food system!
Comment Coordination
We reach out to communities impacted by potential legislation and ensure that people know where, when, and how to use their voice and exercise advocacy.
Working in coalition to win healthy change for Louisiana farmers, fishers, and families.
We value the incredible work of statewide coalitions in bringing people together across issues and coordinating cross-issue responses to potential legislation. LaFPC works collaboratively to support our partners’ legislative priorities throughout the session, promoting a healthier, stronger Louisiana.
How and where to give ‘comment’
Learn the most about how to comment in the Citizens’ Guide to Committee Meetings. Your legislators want to know your thoughts. Make sure they do.
The committee process is an opportunity to inform legislators of your position regarding pending legislation. However, the length of this meeting and the number of people who wish to testify may require the imposition of time limitations. If you are with a group, it is advisable to appoint a spokesperson.
To register support or opposition
You do not have to speak in committee to register your support or opposition to a bill. Please use the witness cards to indicate your position and whether you would like to testify by selecting the proper card – green for support and red for opposition - and checking the appropriate box. These Witness Cards are available in the committee room and overflow rooms on the witness tables. Carefully read, fill out, and sign the back of the witness card. If you wish to speak, please check the appropriate box on the card. Please return completed cards to the designated staff member or sergeant-at-arms. Important Note: You must fill out a separate card for each bill you are supporting or opposing.
