LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE

What LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE does

The Louisiana State Legislature is the bicameral legislative branch of the State of Louisiana, constitutionally established in 1812 upon statehood and headquartered at 900 North Third Street, Baton Rouge. It comprises 39 elected Senators and 105 elected Representatives, supported by an institutional apparatus including the Legislative Fiscal Office, House Fiscal Division, Senate Fiscal Services, Joint Committee on the Budget, Legislative Communications Office, and the Poynter Library. The institution meets in annual regular sessions (the 2026 session convened March 9, 2026 and adjourned June 1, 2026; the 2027 session is scheduled to convene April 12, 2027) and may be called into extraordinary sessions by the governor or by two-thirds of each chamber.

The legislature operates a unified web-based portal at legis.la.gov delivering a suite of interconnected public-facing services. Core products include Bill Search and Law Search for researching legislation and state statutes; Session Information and a Committee Meeting Scheduler for tracking legislative calendars; a Legislator Directory with district maps; the My Legis personalized account system for bill tracking and notifications; Broadcast Archives for video recordings of proceedings; an NGO Funding Request System for grant applications; an Administrative Procedure Act (APA) Electronic Submittal System for state agency rule notifications; and a Fiscal Information Portal aggregating fiscal office resources. Underlying technology is a Microsoft ASP.NET-style web application framework (evidenced by WebResource.axd URLs) supporting bill tracking, committee management, and public access.

The institution is funded through state appropriations and does not generate revenue from products or services. Its user base is structurally defined rather than commercially acquired: Louisiana citizens (the primary constituency), state executive agencies (APA submissions, fiscal reporting), non-governmental organizations (funding requests), and various boards and commissions under legislative oversight. Communications with the public flow through the official website, video broadcast archives, news publications, and the PULS (Public Update Legislative Services) phone hotline. The legislature's value proposition rests on its constitutional authority — lawmaking, appropriations, constitutional amendments, executive oversight, APA rule review, and gubernatorial appointment confirmation — none of which is replicable by any private or competing entity.
