Welcome to the Louisiana House of Representatives Web site. The goal of our site is to provide easy access to state government, particularly, the House of Representatives. Through this site, you can follow House activities and have a front row seat in the legislative process. Streaming video of legislative committee meetings and session floor debate allows you to follow legislative proceedings as they occur and gives those who cannot travel to the state capitol the opportunity to be informed. Archived broadcasts of legislative proceedings, access to bills, amendments, and laws, information about committees, legislators, and staff, as well as other legislative information is provided. Also included is access to press releases, publications and other government sites. We hope you will use this site regularly. Your input is welcome and a "Contact Us" link is provided on this page to make it easy for you to share your thoughts and to contact members and staff. Only through citizen participation will we be aware of your concerns and be able to address our citizens' needs.
