2022 LEGISLATIVE BILL TRACKER
We update this Bill Tracker throughout the legislative session. As bills move through each stage in the process of becoming a law, they moved up the categories listed below. In each category, the bills are listed in order by number. Click on the bill number to head to the LA Legislature site, read the bill's text, history of the bill, and more.
VOTE's positions on the bills are as follows:
Blue Highlight - VOTE Priority
Green - Support
Red - Oppose
Yellow - Amend or Neutral
*Note: The public can attend and speak at Committee hearings, but not Floor Hearings. Committee hearings are one of the best opportunities for your elected officials to hear about your experience and needs. To talk more about testifying in a Committee hearing, contact us.
