Shrimp industry bill aims to boost domestic seafood
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Julia Letlow introduces bill requiring federal agencies to buy U.S. seafood Louisiana shrimp industry faces steep decline due to cheap imports Proposal targets federal programs like school lunches and military supply Industry leaders say legislation could help stabilize prices and jobs Julia Letlow files bill to save Louisiana’s collapsing shrimp industry Congresswoman Julia Letlow said she will file a bill April 16 that would require the federal government to buy domestic seafood only as Louisiana’s shrimping industry teeters on the brink of collapse. The U.S. government spends nearly $400 million annually on seafood for the National School Lunch Program and other food assistance initiatives as well as troops. Acy Cooper of Plaquemines Parish, president of the Louisiana Shrimp Association, said the bill could be a major step in saving the state’s shrimping industry if it became law. “If we can’t get the price up, we’re done,” Cooper said in an interview with USA Today Network. “This would be a tremendous help to the industry. It would really make a difference. Right now we’re losing fishermen by the day.” Louisiana shrimpers numbered as high as 20,000 in the 1980s. Today there are fewer than 1,500, Cooper said, as cheap imports flood the U.S. market. Letlow said the government shouldn’t support foreign seafood with federal tax dollars when the domestic industry is struggling. “In Louisiana, seafood is a cornerstone of our economy and a way of life,” she said in a statement. “My Buy American Seafood Act would ensure that taxpayer-funded seafood is sourced from American fishermen and processors, protecting taxpayers from subsidizing foreign countries or adversaries like China.” Letlow also said cheaper foreign imports are often contaminated and could produce safety concerns “I am fighting to stop heavily subsidized, often-contaminated foreign seafood from undercutting our American producers — including those who harvest the finest Louisiana seafood from the Gulf of America,” she said. “By prioritizing American seafood in federal purchases, we can deliver nutritious, high-quality products to families across the country.” Blake Price of the Southern Shrimp Alliance also expressed support for the bill in a statement. “The FDA is encouraging Americans to eat more seafood, and we catch and process some of the best right here at home,” Price said. “Ensuring U.S. funds deliver healthy U.S. seafood through nutritional programs is a win for our children, fishermen and coastal economies.” Greg Hilburn covers state politics for the USA TODAY Network of Louisiana.

Bill would limit climate suits against energy industry
KEY TAKEAWAYS: House Bill 804 would limit lawsuits against oil and gas companies for climate-related damages Critics warn the measure could restrict communities’ legal rights to protect health and property Bill requires parish approval from state leaders before pursuing climate damage claims Separate HB 566 would block state spending on net-zero carbon emission programs A Louisiana lawmaker has advanced a bill that would shield oil and gas companies from lawsuits seeking compensation for the effects of climate change, but critics fear its passage would limit communities’ ability to protect the public health and property rights. House Bill 804, authored by Rep. Brett Geymann (R-Lake Charles), was referred to the Committee on Appropriations on March 9. The measure would limit claims against the energy industry for injury or harm to individuals or property caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. The Louisiana measure comes in the wake of a federal lawmaker, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyoming), saying she is working on a federal bill to regulate climate-change lawsuits and bills relating to the climate superfund. “Multiple climate lawsuits are now advancing toward trial,” Hageman said at a congressional hearing last month. “Clearly this is an area in which Congress has a role to play. To that end, I am working with my colleagues in both the House and Senate to craft legislation tackling both these state laws and the lawsuits.” The Louisiana bill would bar parishes from seeking damages related to climate change unless they obtain the agreement of the governor, attorney general, House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment, and Senate Committee on Natural Resources. Jackson Voss, senior government affairs & policy advisor for the Alliance for Affordable Energy in New Orleans, expressed concern that Geymann, who chairs the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment, and other lawmakers may not have considered the full consequences of HB 804 becoming law. “While the chairman’s intention may be to protect industry from what he sees as unnecessary litigation, we are concerned that this type of bill would essentially deny people, businesses, and state and local governments the ability to seek legal recourse for anything that could be framed as being the result of emissions,” Voss told the Louisiana Record in an email. Based on Voss’s reading of the measure, parishes would be barred from seeking damages if harmful emissions leaked from a carbon-capture project, unless the causes of the action were included in provisions of the federal Clean Air Act and the parishes obtained approval from the governor, attorney general and the designated legislative leaders. “All this to say, the alliance is concerned that this bill will do more to limit the rights of the people and the state of Louisiana to vigorously protect their interests, as well as public health and property, than to protect industry and natural resources,” he said. “We hope to ensure legislators are made aware of those concerns before they vote to make this law.” Another Louisiana bill would go a step further. HB 566, sponsored by Rep. Charles Owen (R-Rosepine), would bar the state from spending money on any program whose goal is net-zero carbon emissions – that is, reducing greenhouse gas generation to zero. The measure would also empower citizens or groups who know about potential violations of the bill to file civil lawsuits against the public entity engaged in such spending, according to the Legislature’s analysis of the bill. At the start of 2026, the American Petroleum Institute identified stopping “extreme climate liability policy” as one of its agenda items for this year to strengthen the nation’s energy industry. That item urges the protection of energy producers and consumers “from abusive state climate lawsuits and the expansion of climate ‘superfund’ policies that bypass Congress and threaten affordability.” This report was produced by Legal Newsline and distributed by The Center Square as part of a content-sharing agreement.
