Another Louisiana Special Session will convene Tuesday May 22, 2018…Everything seems up for consideration
May 14, 2018
Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards issued a call for a special session of the Louisiana Legislature. The special session will convene at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 22, 2017, and it must adjourn by midnight on Monday, June 4, 2018. Gov. Edwards issued the call to address the $648 million budget shortfall recognized by the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC). According to the House Fiscal Office, on June 30, 2018, $1.4 billion in revenue is expiring. Gov. Edwards has proposed maintaining a portion, not all, of that revenue, resulting in a $400 million net tax cut for the people of Louisiana.

“Both the House and Senate have now validated what we’ve been saying all along – you cannot fashion a budget that adequately funds our priorities without maintaining a portion of the revenue that is expiring,” said Gov. Edwards. “I am not asking the legislature to raise any new revenue, but to maintain a portion of the revenue stream we have in place to ensure health care services for our seniors are restored, higher education, TOPS, and Go Grants are fully funded, and our medical schools can continue to train the next generation of physicians. My proposal would result in a net tax cut of approximately $400 million. This session will give us another opportunity to permanently address the budget challenges we face year after year, and I am optimistic we will get it done.”

Another Special Session is expected after the 2018 Louisiana Regular Legislative Session Adjourns
The dates are not set but there still is talk of adjourning the current regular session early and use the remaining time for a special session. The “fiscal cliff” is still looming July 1, 2018. It remains to be seen if the final solution is to keep all, none or a portion of the clean penny in place. We will provide updates as things progress.
