Sen. Heath Cloud (R-District 28) has introduced SB310, which recently passed the Senate with a vote of 31-7. The bill is now awaiting consideration in the House Education Committee.
SB310 would require student health centers at public schools (K-12) and public colleges and universities to display clearly visible signs about available pregnancy resources. These signs would be placed in waiting areas, exam rooms, and other appropriate locations and must be easy to read with a large font. The Louisiana Department of Health (or a designated nonprofit) would design and provide the signs. The bill specifies no required state spending; signage may be funded through private or nonprofit support.
This legislation helps ensure that individuals who are facing a difficult situation have the resources they need. Legislators carry a great responsibility, and their influence is far-reaching.
Take Action:
Please contact the members of the House Education Committee or [email protected] and urge them to support SB310. Be sure to let them know that you are being updated by Concerned Women for America of Louisiana.
Pray:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our legislators who are facing challenging decisions in committee. Grant them the clarity to discern what is right and just. Give them the courage to stand firm in truth, even when it is not easy. Fill their hearts with humility, patience, and a genuine desire to serve with integrity and act with true compassion for those who will be affected by their vote.
