Bills that are now acts and new law cover a wide range of issues. For Rep. Gabe Firment, the session yielded several key legislative completions along with measures left behind in committee chambers.

His legislative package includes:

Rep. Gabe Firment — Eleven passed, including requiring peace officers to be United States citizens, strengthening protections for places of worship, creating the crime of unlawful exposure by an inmate, and increasing penalties for violations in drug-free school zones. Also enacted were measures fighting insurance fraud on motor vehicle glass claims, allowing the impoundment of out-of-state vehicles lacking compulsory liability insurance, clarifying the prescriptive period on property damage insurance claims, and requiring insurers to check for outstanding child support obligations on specific settlement payments.

Additionally, three authored House resolutions passed, urging Congress to oppose the transfer or privatization of Kisatchie National Forest lands, encouraging the establishment of tax-advantaged catastrophe savings accounts, and promoting state water resource management; leftover, his individual proposals on workers’ compensation reform and civil liability protections for the oil and gas industry against climate-change litigation, which were instead incorporated into and passed within larger comprehensive legislative packages.
