BATON ROUGE, LA - Attorney General Jeff Landry issued the following statement encouraging
the Louisiana Legislature to hold a veto session:
"The passage of the Fairness in Women's Sports Act
(SB156) was a common-sense approach by the Legislature to protect women. The
Governor's disrespect for women by vetoing this bipartisan bill was both
disappointing and irresponsible. With growing support from citizens and
legislators all across the state, the Louisiana Legislature has the opportunity
to right this wrong. I join my fellow citizens in supporting the Legislature's
duty to protect women and hold a veto session."
