BY CLAIRE SULLIVAN @sulliclaire

Louisiana lawmakers have started filing bills for the regular legislative session that begins April 10. This session will focus mainly on fiscal issues, but other topics are up for debate, too.

So far, around 30 bills have been proposed. Their topics range from burglary to the tax code. Here’s some you might want to keep your eye on.

“In God We Trust” in every classroom – including at LSU State Rep. Dodie Horton, a Republican from Haughton, has proposed a law that would require every classroom in public schools in the state to display “In God We Trust.” Horton’s law, House Bill 8, would require a minimum of a paper sign.

The current law requires the saying to be in every public school building. This new law will include public post-second- ary institutions like LSU.
