Louisiana REALTORS is
the voice of real estate in the Louisiana legislature.
Our Federal and State legislative sections, 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.
2010 Legislative Outreach Update with LR President Michael O Indest:
Louisiana REALTORS State Legislative Outreaches provide a great
opportunity for REALTORS to receive informative updates on key legislation
prior to each year’s Regular Legislative Session and to discuss
pertinent issues with state lawmakers. Nine Outreaches will be conducted
by LR around the state in late winter/early spring 2010.
This briefing book provides REALTORS an overview of
the major issues that comprise the real world business realities facing
REALTORS® and consumers. The policy issues and recommendations
being advanced by Louisiana REALTORS® are based on the vision of our
members to ensure that real estate remains a vibrant, healthy sector of
our economy.
