| Description | BATON ROUGE - The Legislature gave more momentum Wednesday to a proposal that would return Louisiana to the open primary system for elections to Congress, an initiative that Gov. Bobby Jindal says he would not oppose.
House Bill 292 by Rep. Hunter Greene, R-Baton Rouge, passed the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee with no objections, although many questions were raised by the panel members. It now goes to the Senate floor.
The bill would take effect Jan. 1 and would not affect U.S. House and Senate elections this fall. |
