Amends R.S. 11:710.1(A)(1)(a) and (c) of the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL) to adjust the rules governing the reemployment of teachers who retired on or after July 1, 2020. The bill focuses on increasing the earnings threshold for retirees working in TRSL-covered positions without triggering a reduction in retirement benefits, aiming to provide greater flexibility for retirees returning to work. It was prefiled under the Louisiana Constitution with a notice of intent published.
- Amendment to R.S. 11:710.1(A)(1)
- Section Purpose: Governs the reemployment of TRSL retirees who return to active service in positions covered by the system, offering irrevocable options for managing benefits and earnings.
- Option 1 Adjustments:
- Earnings Limit Increase (A)(1)(a): Retirees can earn up to 50% of their final average compensation (FAC) per fiscal year during reemployment, up from the previous limit of 25%. If earnings exceed 50%, their retirement benefits are reduced by the amount over this threshold.
- Switching Options (A)(1)(c): Retirees under Option 1 (allowing earnings up to the limit) can switch to Option 2 (rejoining TRSL as an active member for a supplemental benefit) at any time—before or after hitting the 50% FAC cap. Upon switching:
- Employee contributions made under Option 1 are refunded.
- If earnings already exceeded 50% FAC before switching, either the refundable contributions or the benefits payable are reduced by the excess amount.
- Funding Mechanism (Section 2)
- Any costs arising from this change (e.g., increased benefits or administrative expenses) must be covered by additional employer contributions, as required by Article X, Section 29(F) of the Louisiana Constitution, ensuring no unfunded liability for the system.
HB207: Provides relative to who may attend an execution of a death sentence
Last Action: Read by title, under the rules, referred to the Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice.

Should be AMENDED in committee that someone MAY attend. You could hold up in perpetuity any execution if there is never a legal represented that is mandated to be there in attendance, expecially a legal representative who opposes the execution.
Proposes an amendment to Louisiana's death penalty execution procedures. The bill seeks to include a legal representative of the condemned individual among the mandatory attendees at executions. Currently, the law requires the presence of specific individuals during an execution:
- The warden of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, or a competent person selected by the warden.
- The coroner of West Feliciana Parish, or their deputy.
- A physician summoned by the warden.
- A competent person chosen by the warden to carry out the execution method.
- A priest or minister, if requested by the inmate.
- Between five and seven other witnesses.
This amends Louisiana's execution procedures to include a legal representative of the condemned individual among the mandatory attendees. Angola Prison, located in West Feliciana Parish, is the sole facility in Louisiana where executions are carried out. Both the execution chamber and the male death row are located at Angola. Female death row inmates are housed at the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in St. Gabriel, but their executions also take place at Angola.

HOUSE floor amendments [LINK] create separate certifications: an "alternative hair design" registration for natural hair braiding within licensed salons, and a "natural hair braiding" special permit for practice outside salons. They establish training, examination, sanitation, fees, renewal, inspection requirements, consumer protections, and set an effective date of January 1, 2026, for braiding permits.
Defines natural hair braiding as an unregulated service, exempt from state and local licensing. Preempts local regulation. Creates optional 500-hour certification for “alternative hair designers” who want to use that title or work in licensed salons. Braiders not using chemicals or dyes may operate freely without a license.
