2018 Legislative Bill Tracker
LOUISIANA REALTORS • March 29, 2018
Louisiana REALTORS® convened a group of legislative volunteers and the lobbying team for a review of over a hundred pieces of legislation filed for the 2018 regular session. Each bill is reviewed and considered by whether it impacts the real estate industry, it's practitioners, or if it impacts the property rights for Louisiana's citizens. Members may follow along as these bills move through the legislative process. Questions about any of the legislation or any concerns can be directed to Kim Callaway, Director of Legal & Governmental Affairs.
