State legislation proposed to close loophole in domestic violence situations involving same-sex couples
Proposed legislation prefiled for the 2017 Legislature by State Rep. Pat Connick, R-Marrero, aims to close a longstanding loophole in Louisiana?s domestic violence statutes by including same-sex couples.
House Bill 27 would alter the state?s civil and criminal statutes by opening harsher sentencing possibility for abusers in same-sex cohabiting relationships and by providing key public welfare assistance options to same-sex victims.?
