The long rumored "Legislative Petition" response to Governor John Bel Edwards COVID restrictions has finally arrived, according to Louisiana House leadership.
This procedural move would suspend the Governor's emergency declarations, and allow the state House to set a time limit before new restrictions can be put back into place. The petition is not a bill, therefore it cannot be vetoed by the Governor.
If the Legislative Petition is held up in court, it would suspend all of the state's COVID rules and restrictions.
Seems wise in a state that's #4 for per capita cases and #5 for per capita deaths.
