SB 7 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Third Extraordinary Session

LEGISLATORS: Provides for legislative continuances and extensions of time for legislators and legislative employees. (Item #20) (gov sig)

SB 7 amends the state constitution to allow legislators and their employees to request time extensions for legislative duties. The bill specifically changes the text to permit continuances for the "House of Representatives" rather than a single representative and clarifies that these extensions apply "in" the context of the legislative process. These procedural adjustments enable lawmakers to manage their schedules more flexibly without altering the core functions of the legislature.
