The La Lege app, combines information from House and Senate websites into an easy to use format users can access from anywhere. Identical information remains available on the legislative website, www.legis.la.gov. Launched just in time for the 2023 Regular Legislative Session, the La Lege app provides a new level of technology, transparency and access to anyone interested in the lawmaking process. “The legislative process is important, but not everyone can come be a part of it in-person,” said Speaker Schexnayder. “This app is so easy to use, and it gives users instant access to the work we’re doing for our constituents. It’s a great way to tap into the Legislature and follow bills of interest.” “Giving the public a front row seat during the Legislative Session from anywhere in the state is grass roots engagement at its best,” said President Cortez. “To see lawmakers in action, and hear debates when they’re happening is an experience that can be accessible to anyone, anytime.
