Maddy summaryHB 264, "Jada's Law," requires police or jail staff to confirm a person arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) is medically sober and has a blood alcohol level at or below the legal limit before releasing them from custody. It mandates securing the arrestee's vehicle (e.g., towing or holding keys) until release and requires notifying rental car companies if the vehicle is rented. The law applies directly to individuals arrested for DWI, law enforcement agencies, and rental dealers. It adds specific procedures for safe release, including requiring a sober licensed driver, rideshare, or public transit for transportation, but does not affect bail eligibility.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a resolution expressing the condolences of the Louisiana House of Representatives on the death of Allyce Trapp Alexander, a governmental affairs professional who passed away on September 27, 2025. The resolution acknowledges her life as a native of Houma, her education at Louisiana State University, her career as a governmental affairs coordinator, and her personal qualities that endeared her to colleagues and friends. It formally extends wishes for comfort to her surviving family, including her husband Wilson Alexander, parents, brother, and extended relatives. The measure does not change any laws or policies but serves as an official statement of respect and remembrance.

Maddy summaryHB 873 adds a $2 supplemental fee to certain Louisiana driver's license applications and renewals (including Class D, E, and commercial licenses) to create the "Pursuit Safety and Officer Technology Fund." The funds will provide grants to law enforcement agencies for pursuit intervention technology - such as GPS projectiles, tire deflation devices, and vehicle-tethering systems - and for training on their safe use. This affects all drivers obtaining or renewing eligible licenses statewide, with the fee appearing on standard license transactions. The bill does not change existing license costs but directs specific portions of fees toward this new safety fund.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a concurrent resolution that formally recognizes the Pope John Paul II Catholic High School Boys' Swim Team for winning its sixth consecutive Louisiana High School Athletic Association Division IV state championship. The resolution highlights the team's achievements over six seasons, specifically noting their victories from 2020 through 2025 and individual accomplishments by team members. It serves as a ceremonial acknowledgment rather than a policy change, with no new laws or regulations being enacted. The document lists the team's coaches, captains, and specific performance results to document their sustained excellence in competitive swimming.

Maddy summaryHB 577 changes how Louisiana insurers calculate penalties when they fail to pay valid claims on time or settle arbitrarily. It sets a penalty of up to 50% of the unpaid claim amount (or $1,000, whichever is greater), plus proven economic damages and attorney fees, if an insurer delays payment beyond 30 days without valid cause. The bill ensures these penalties cannot be used by insurers to adjust future insurance rates or filings. This directly affects insured individuals who face delayed or denied claims, providing clearer financial recourse against unfair insurer practices.

Maddy summaryHB 534 would require all local bond and tax elections (where voters approve funding for projects or taxes) to be held only during primary election dates, as specified in Louisiana's Constitution. This directly affects parishes and municipalities that hold such elections, shifting them from standalone voting days to coincide with primary elections. The bill includes a limited exception for security districts in parishes with cities over 300,000 population, allowing parcel fee elections in those areas to proceed separately. The law would take effect only if a related constitutional amendment is approved by voters in a statewide election.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a concurrent resolution that formally recognizes the Pope John Paul II Catholic High School Lady Jaguars Soccer Team for winning the 2026 Louisiana High School Athletic Association Division IV state championship. The resolution highlights the team's season performance, including their 19-1-2 record and victory in a penalty shootout against Isidore Newman School, and acknowledges the coaching staff's leadership. It serves as an official commendation from the Louisiana Legislature to celebrate the team's achievements and sportsmanship, with no changes to laws or policies.

Maddy summaryThis bill commemorates St. Joseph's Day on March 19, 2026, and establishes the Italian American Legislative Caucus in the Louisiana House of Representatives. The resolution recognizes the cultural and historical connections between Italy and Louisiana, particularly highlighting Italian contributions to the state's agriculture, commerce, culinary traditions, and the development of jazz music. By creating the caucus, the bill provides a formal structure for Italian American citizens to represent their community interests within the legislature. The measure focuses on preserving and promoting Italian heritage traditions within Louisiana's legislative body.

Maddy summaryHB 221 proposes naming a new Mississippi River bridge connecting Louisiana Highways 1 and 30 as the "President Donald J. Trump Expressway." The bill requires the Louisiana Department of Transportation to install signage once construction is complete, using local or private funds to cover costs up to $750 per sign. It does not change transportation laws, funding, or affect any policies beyond the bridge's official designation. The bill is currently pending in committee and has not been enacted.

Maddy summaryHB 465 creates the Violet Economic Development District in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, specifically targeting the Violet area for coordinated economic growth. The district, governed by a 9-member board including local officials and community representatives, will use tax revenue from future property value growth (via state sales tax increment financing) to fund infrastructure, housing, workforce development, and community priorities. It directly affects residents and businesses within the defined boundaries, aligning with opportunities related to the Louisiana International Terminal. The bill establishes clear governance rules and transparency requirements for how funds are reinvested locally.
