ECONOMIC DEVELOP/DEPT: Urges and requests Louisiana Economic Development to consider certain eligibility requirements for companies applying for the High Impact Jobs Program

Summary

The House resolution asks the Louisiana Economic Development agency to weigh adding an eligibility rule that would disqualify companies where 20% or more of their employees receive SNAP benefits from receiving High Impact Jobs Program incentives. It targets businesses seeking state grants for creating high‑pay jobs, aiming to ensure those incentives benefit low‑income Louisianans. The measure was defeated in the House by a 41‑49 vote.
