The Louisiana Senate spent a floor session adopting a long list of ceremonial resolutions and taking final-floor action on a range of bills.
Ceremonial actions: The chamber adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 45, expressing condolences on the death of Elise Trapp Alexander and honoring her life and service. The Senate also adopted multiple concurrent resolutions recognizing inductees into the 2026 Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and commending high‑school teams and coaches.
Bills and procedural action: The Senate ordered numerous bills to third reading or concurred in House amendments on several measures. Examples from today's session:
- SB 3‑47 (amendments addressing deepfake imagery and power‑based violence) moved to final passage after sponsor amendments tightened definitional language.
- SB 4‑69 (underground utilities / 8‑1‑1 requirement) passed after the adoption of a technical amendment and limited exemptions for certain parishes.
- Multiple bills returned from the House with committee amendments were concurred in and sent forward for engrossment.
Votes: Standout recorded tallies from the transcript include: adoption of SCR 45 (recorded as 38 yeas; no nays reported), adoption of numerous Sports Hall of Fame resolutions (typical tallies were unanimous or near‑unanimous with recorded coauthors), final passage of SB 3‑47 (38–0 where recorded), and final passage of SB 2‑59 (online protective orders) recorded 38–0.
What to watch next: Sponsors said several measures will return to the floor after technical drafting. The full list of bills transmitted to the Legislative Bureau or ordered to third reading was read into the record during the session.
