After months of a ‘pandemic economy’ and financially challenged families, the Louisiana Legislature submitted a petition to revoke ‘powers’ of the governor’s authority during times of emergency. State statute authorizes this move, but in early court challenges, it was prematurely declared unconstitutional, effectively preserving all of the Governor’s emergency authority. This week, that changed when the Louisiana Supreme Court vacated that decision, saying that the lower court judge ruled too early on whether the move was constitutional.

The State Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of the case, but they are requiring the lower court to review whether statutes allow for this maneuver before they address constitutionality. Will the Louisiana Supreme Court limit the governor’s authority? Stay tuned.
