Bill Lets Married Women Equal Management Of Community Property
A Louisiana House committee passed a measure granting married women equal right to manage community property 12 to 3 with an amendment allowing husbands sole control of movable property at their business unless the wife waives her rights. The bill moves to the full House while a companion capital outlay package advances, and Senate actions on obscenity penalties progress next week.
