Legislation concerning voter registration rolls heads this week's legislative preview.
In Louisiana, a hearing is scheduled for April 8 at 9:00 a.m. CT concerning HB 114 in the House Committee on Appropriations.
HB 114 is legislation related to election integrity, particularly voter registration rolls. The bill directs the Louisiana Department of State to conduct an expanded annual canvass of registered Louisiana voters by no later than June 30 of each year in order to verify and update registration records.
The bill was reported favorably out of the House Committee on House and Governmental Affairs on March 11, and recommitted to Appropriations.
HB 114 was introduced by state representative Les Farnum of District 33.
The Massachusetts General Court has placed H 3541 -- the COS resolution -- on the order of the day for April 8, which signifies a possible floor vote.
The General Assembly in Tennessee has placed HB 2936 on the calendar for a floor vote on April 11.
HB 2936, the "Families' Rights and Responsibilities Act", codifies the right of parents to oversee the education and physical and mental health of their children as exclusive, and emphasizes the fundamental concept of self-governance -- consent. It also permits parental involvement in school organizations and associations that are sanctioned by boards of education in the state.
The bill is sponsored by state representative Jeremy Faison.
