LSLA Legislative Update 2010 Legislative Session June 22, 2010 |
| |
| | At
the Capitol! |  The 2010 Regular
Session of the Louisiana Legislature adjourned "Sine Die" at 6:00 p.m. Monday, June 21, 2010 as required by the
Louisiana Constitution. The term "Sine Die" is Latin for "without day", but what it
really means is adjournment without a date certain for reconvening. What it means is that the 2010 Regular
Session of the Louisiana Legislature is over and that the legislators will be returning home to their districts.
