Louisiana State Legislature

What Louisiana State Legislature does

The Louisiana State Legislature is the official state legislative body of Louisiana, established upon Louisiana's admission as the 18th U.S. state in 1812. It comprises 39 Senate members and 105 House of Representatives members who collectively enact state laws, oversee the legislative process, conduct committee hearings on public policy, and provide oversight of state agencies. The legislature convenes at the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge and serves residents across all 64 parishes of Louisiana, providing representation through a bicameral structure.

The legislature's primary digital products are delivered through the louisiana.gov unified state government portal and dedicated sites including legis.la.gov. Notable platform features include the Louisiana Checkbook spending transparency system with searchable spending data and downloadable agency comparison capabilities, live streaming of committee and floor proceedings, the LEADERS electronic campaign finance filing system administered by the Louisiana Ethics Administration, and the My Legis bill tracking platform that allows citizens to monitor up to 100 legislative instruments per session. The entity also exercises oversight over more than 40 professional and occupational licensing boards covering medicine, nursing, real estate, contracting, and other regulated fields.

As a non-profit government entity, the legislature does not generate commercial revenue. Its operations and those of the state agencies it oversees are funded through state tax revenue collected by the Department of Revenue, including individual income taxes, sales taxes, and business fees. Professional licensing fees are set by individual licensing boards under the legislature's oversight. Citizen services are distributed through self-serve digital portals (Louisiana.gov, ExpressLane), state agency websites, and physical state and parish offices throughout the state.
