Representative Joseph Breaux, sponsor of the resolution, told the committee that a recent surge of workers tied to major construction projects, including the Venture Global LNG plant, has produced a large number of out‑of‑state vehicles in his parish. Breaux noted the parish population is about 23,000 and said at one point \"we had about 12, 13,000 workers\" traveling to the facility, which led to frequent traffic stops where officers encountered drivers without proof of insurance.

\"What this does is it ask[s] OMB and the state police to look at ways on what would the proper way would be to how to arrest somebody, what the penalties would be for that, and then how they would be able if they could impound a car from another jurisdiction,\" Breaux said. The resolution requests study of penalties, impound processes for out‑of‑state vehicles, and whether temporary insurance options could be made available for short‑term workers.

Bridal Adams, identified in the hearing as interim commissioner of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), told members the study is needed because data-sharing and reporting from other states is inconsistent. \"The data in other states is not required to be reported to the office of motor vehicles or the state agencies when it comes to law enforcement,\" she said, indicating that existing gaps complicate enforcement and that the study could explore data‑collection methods.

The committee recorded no objections when Representative Breaux moved to report HCR 66 favorably. The resolution requests information and recommendations from OMV and state police; it does not change enforcement law or impose new penalties by itself.","The committee reported HCR 66 favorably, requesting the Office of Motor Vehicles and Louisiana State Police study methods to enforce out‑of‑state vehicle insurance compliance amid high worker traffic tied to large projects in the district.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6219139,"Committee asks DOTD to study GoPass rollout, tolling practices after Belle Chasse complaints",300,816240,1116415,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3624018-2a35f3e1930534416b2cf7ea2a31a864&start=816&end=1116","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3624018-2a35f3e1930534416b2cf7ea2a31a864/thumbnail_816240.jpg","/articles/6219139/Louisiana/Committee-asks-DOTD-to-study-GoPass-rollout-tolling-practices-after-Belle-Chasse-complaints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6219139-cc40fbddabb99b1c4dc61d1715f16021/orig.mp4?Expires=1770562970&Signature=hVqiHfmfWxjGh0vvfOaae8vG3dWfYcQsVtMpyoNGfEXoZ~cEuOP7Fl~Pl5bNwZtu~5m0lfsJrjGWS-ufhyuk4WIxaDTWrZ73yU1yp-wfI0FRijaVmevCTc79Zgwk1E8Zi~p9bkkBRffdpd-HSZvVQMTJjVdSXHP4wfGRL5ffWYXBC1DZbtazKjZoX7a0zyb6qIEAGTm6idMxvWj039O42l1E8ayNO2XhkbotuJxG3Hn93syFGF87bz6kIcLQAiF1gYWa87SKGeqXFVVFlciXCW89-EA-fYWU7v8ZRCl8AK-SKYgbPo-rY6S5f0do9QjXbC2FVoroTGsf~LObMe39rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Transportation Committee on Monday voted to report House Resolution 220 favorably, asking the Department of Transportation and Development to study the GoPass toll system’s functions, accessibility and customer service, and the causes of rollout delays on the Belle Chasse bridge project.

Representative Joseph Breaux, sponsor of the resolution, told the committee the Belle Chasse public‑private partnership toll project experienced about a dozen separate delays before tolls went into effect a few weeks earlier. \"The process on rolling out those tolls has been lacking, to say it kindly,\" Breaux said, citing repeated postponements and inadequate outreach to affected residents.

Breaux and other speakers described several problems: the system’s heavy reliance on the GoPass smartphone app; limited local customer service (the only local office was in Golden Meadow, a roughly two‑hour trip from Belle Chasse); lack of interoperability with other state toll programs such as the Causeway; and the application of per‑trip credit‑card transaction fees rather than applying fees at account reload, which reduces the number of paid trips per load.

Plaquemines Parish President Keith Hinkley, present in support, told the committee, \"The GoPass ... it has to be fixed. It is definitely broken right now,\" and said residents reported being billed for neighbors’ trips and for trips they did not take. Hinkley said the problems are affecting residents’ quality of life and causing high volumes of constituent contacts.

Representative Breaux asked DOTD to collect additional monthly tolling data and other metrics to better understand toll revenue and transaction practices; the resolution requests recommendations for improvements for future projects. Representative Breaux moved that HR 220 be reported favorably; with no objections the committee approved the resolution for favorable reporting.

The committee’s action refers the matter to DOTD for study; it does not change contract terms in the P3 agreement or alter toll rates directly.","Lawmakers voted to report House Resolution 220 favorably, requesting a DOTD review of the GoPass toll system’s rollout, customer service, and tolling practices after repeated delays and local complaints about accessibility and transaction fees on the Belle Chasse bridge project.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6219144,"Committee adopts substitute asking Congress to study alternatives to TSA airport security",498,256280,754435,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3624018-2a35f3e1930534416b2cf7ea2a31a864&start=256&end=754","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3624018-2a35f3e1930534416b2cf7ea2a31a864/thumbnail_256280.jpg","/articles/6219144/Louisiana/Committee-adopts-substitute-asking-Congress-to-study-alternatives-to-TSA-airport-security","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6219144-513a399fa8c583e0e8b9548864d1e328/orig.mp4?Expires=1770562970&Signature=XpcHP29n4-6iWfdZj7qxGOLaO42BGoh7ri4QsLbfZWMq7L3r7t2AZPFTLbApQt9VBsXOgGXsvXJsO8eruUqv6J51r7~xWq1OOAmIEMNFkY74yjDJM9LHsJA7whc8CfwmiU8bBEPgJ87LwNwH9xX4aBQuvLksYrm7kYwE-~glMa4k8je8-HgZskbMAEtrUVOSSKciP0p0~kc-RHzdcqKnivk~DTjIqwdx9rupX24rSML21Y929zRmFeRpEFsVfqOxITGBg3kE9foCsl-6xEeGt14STk0eX9T0I16fiEimdreefQRvz~EE2yAdBVBvEkKRCil9q47kL42wKnaEtiGOrw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Transportation Committee on Monday adopted a substitute to House Concurrent Resolution 71 asking the U.S. Congress to study alternatives to the current Transportation Security Administration model and to explore whether some airport‑security duties could be handled by trained airline personnel or other models.

Representative Crews, chair of the House Transportation Committee, introduced the resolution’s purpose, drawing on personal examples of lengthy security lines and the performance of screening programs. \"I think we've kinda overdone it in some areas, and I would like the U.S. Congress to kinda look into this matter,\" Representative Crews said, urging a study of alternatives to the TSA’s current organization.

Committee staff explained that the substitute softens the original language, framing the measure as a study request rather than a directive. Miss Williams, committee staff, summarized the substitute as asking Congress to \"explore options for transitioning airport security responsibilities from the TSA to alternative models such as delegating duties to train airline personnel\" and said the substitute text is available in the committee folder.

Representative Walters voiced concerns about shifting responsibility from a federal agency to airlines, citing pay and training considerations for gate agents. \"I'm concerned about this possible shift of responsibility,\" Walters said, noting that many gate employees at non‑international airports \"make minimum wage\" and questioning whether airlines could shoulder the added duties.

Representative Schermerhorn moved to adopt the substitute; with no objections the committee approved the substitute text. Representative Schermerhorn then moved that HCR 71 be reported via the substitute; the committee recorded no objections and the measure was reported to the next stage via the substitute text. A witness card registered in opposition listed Scott Grama, identified as an airport manager, as an information/oppose card.

The resolution asks Congress to study alternatives and does not itself change law or transfer responsibilities. It requests only that lawmakers consider whether alternative models could preserve security while improving passenger convenience.","The House Transportation Committee approved a substitute to House Concurrent Resolution 71 asking the U.S. Congress to study options for shifting or changing Transportation Security Administration responsibilities, including models that would involve training airline personnel for some duties.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6219149,"Louisiana House committee backs study to connect West Tenth Street in Reserve to I‑10",172,71825,244295,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3624018-2a35f3e1930534416b2cf7ea2a31a864&start=71&end=244","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3624018-2a35f3e1930534416b2cf7ea2a31a864/thumbnail_71825.jpg","/articles/6219149/Louisiana/Louisiana-House-committee-backs-study-to-connect-West-Tenth-Street-in-Reserve-to-I10","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6219149-62ef1ee9d3fcc791ad2c30ee87d95611/orig.mp4?Expires=1770562970&Signature=SsO2ASX4F8JU6hBWHz-qPn9xl0vrV7~omizVYQqGBjWnzlopf0c1kr1i4igxye5u6hf8EyLMcKZJLnYQ4qSpZuty6wSWZCiSlXuDnCza7OVd1zyphN10~0K5DIHDgMNRHnJml~QFpqTrjddxdWPPAN1x1i44wNSH4g5UKVx~Un-ua38uqNH9sbIoEPeC09M18fCCOiqadT-oQFvQ6OuRQD6xGKOEdyAdCYwTn0dCcg8x5ZGnFixnt3TO9x5nsnWNijJGl0~jKZH~VSdVO4AICw4MfkuK2tp4QkiLLMtf7TVdhf4qQe6cDHO-7j82Uz92t5hdLmLoEZ8nqtt5r3ksHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Transportation Committee on Monday voted to report House Resolution 40 favorably, asking the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to study connecting West Tenth Street in Reserve to Interstate 10 to relieve daily traffic congestion and to improve evacuation and freight access.

The resolution, introduced by Representative Sylvia Taylor, urges the department to examine potential benefits and logistics of a new connection between West Tenth Street and I‑10. \"It would relieve congestion,\" Representative Sylvia Taylor said when describing the proposal and added it would help evacuation and business access. Taylor also cited local commercial users including Varma Foods, Marathon Petroleum and ADM Growmark and described the Port of South Louisiana as \"one of the top ports in the nation.\"

The measure asks DOTD to study traffic, evacuation, and access implications for the district and nearby commercial sites; it does not authorize construction. Representative Walters moved that HR 40 be reported favorably, and with no objections the committee approved the resolution for favorable reporting.

Proponents told the committee the nearest current interstate accesses are in Gramercy or LaPlace, leaving Reserve without a direct connection to I‑10. Taylor said a study would help identify whether a link could ease the \"traffic gridlock\" residents experience at commute and shift-change times and improve commercial access to the port.

No formal funding or design proposal accompanied the resolution; the committee action was limited to requesting a study by DOTD. The resolution therefore establishes a request for a departmental review rather than any immediate project funding or permitting action.

The committee took the vote during its June 2 meeting and referred the study request to DOTD for further consideration.","The House Transportation Committee voted to report House Resolution 40 favorably, asking the Department of Transportation and Development to study linking West Tenth Street in Reserve to Interstate 10 to ease daily congestion and aid evacuation and freight access to the Port of South Louisiana.","actionData","errors"]
