Senate Tries To Clear Money Bills For Action
Baton Rouge: Louisiana House, pressed by a crowded calendar and two late sessions, moved to clear money bills for Senate action. Appropriations bills must reach the governor five days before adjournment, now about two weeks away. The House advanced 29 minor bills, killing 22. A constitutional amendment on gasoline taxation near border towns failed to reach two thirds. A store detention bill was rejected amid concerns of false arrest. A proposal to end state printing operations within three years also died. A separate committee rejected a Senate bill to strip elected New Orleans officials of parole powers.
