LALegis2014: Bill Would Require State’s OK Before Filing Oil, Gas Suits
A state representative from Lafayette has filed a bill that targets oil and gas lawsuits by creating an extra hurdle for parishes before they're able to sue companies for permit violations.
Republican Rep. Joel Robideaux discussed the bill March 17 at the Acadiana Press Club's Newsmaker Forum, which also featured Sen. Page Cortez, R-Lafayette.
