AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Congressional Redistricting: Louisiana lawmakers sent a new GOP-favored U.S. House map to Gov. Jeff Landry after the Supreme Court struck down the prior map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, erasing one majority-Black district and leaving Democrats with just one majority-Black seat—prompting sharp criticism from Black lawmakers who called it racist and disenfranchising. Courts & Voting Rights Fallout: The remap follows the broader weakening of Voting Rights Act protections after Louisiana v. Callais, setting up likely legal challenges and intensifying a national midterm redistricting scramble. Education & Workforce: Lawmakers loosened TOPS-Tech eligibility rules to steer more students into technical training, and advanced changes aimed at expanding access. Public Safety & Law: Louisiana approved a ban on intentional outdoor balloon releases starting Aug. 1, with exemptions for certain materials and activities. Local Government: A bill tied judicial meal per diems to federal rates, tightening how judges can spend public money on travel meals. Community Services: Second Harvest announced a major summer feeding expansion across south Louisiana, including a new Amazon home-delivery option for identified children. Aviation Funding: Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport is set to receive nearly $11M in federal grants for terminal and baggage upgrades.
