Louisiana REALTORS is
the voice of real estate in the Louisiana legislature.
Our Federal and State legislative teams, composed
of dedicated REALTOR members and staff monitor, review
and evaluate proposed legislation and rules of law
that affect REALTORS, such as fair housing, agency,
antitrust, etc.
Louisiana REALTORS also
prepares and advocates legislation proposed by and in
the best interest of its members. Over the years, REALTORS
have enjoyed many legislative successes due to the work
of their state association, including an increase in
professional standards for all licensees, a rewrite
of the Agency Law in Louisiana, and we have consistently
opposed and beaten every proposed real estate transfer
tax.
Several legislative programs
and services are available for Louisiana REALTORS members,
and details on each are provided in this section. For
more information about the organization's role in governmental
affairs, contact Norman
Morris at 1-800-266-8538.

State Legislative Outreaches
In politics there's no replacement for a face-to-face
meeting with your elected officials. Through Legislative
Outreaches, LR staff sets up meetings between representatives
and their REALTOR constituents. These meetings give
you an unparalleled opportunity to discuss issues
that impact your business with the lawmakers themselves.
Outreaches are conducted statewide, in each district,
every year and feature elected officials at the local,
state and federal level. This is a great opportunity
to discuss or influence their stance on key legislation,
so watch for a Legislative Outreach program coming
to your area soon! MORE INFO>>
