The 2026 Louisiana Legislative Session is scheduled to begin on Monday, March 9, 2026, and run through Tuesday, June 9, 2026. This 90-day session is a critical period when laws that shape our economy, communities, and industries are debated and decided — including issues that directly impact the life safety and property protection profession.
For businesses and professionals in alarm systems, fire protection, monitoring, security technology, inspection services, and related fields, staying informed about what is happening at the Capitol is more than good practice — it’s essential to protecting your interests and the safety of the communities you serve.
During the legislative session, lawmakers consider bills that touch on public safety regulations, licensing requirements, building codes, false alarm ordinances, workers’ compensation, taxation, privacy and data security, and more. Even proposals that may seem distant from our industry can affect how you operate and plan for the future. When life safety and property protection professionals take an active role in the legislative process, we help ensure that policymakers hear real-world perspectives from the people on the front lines.
That’s where LLSSA’s advocacy efforts come in. LLSSA partners with SSG (Strategic Services Group) to represent our membership at the Louisiana State Capitol. SSG is our registered lobbyist firm that works year-round tracking bills, advising on policy impacts, coordinating with legislators and committee staff, and advocating for outcomes that support strong, fair, and effective safety standards across our industry. Together, LLSSA and SSG monitor relevant legislation, communicate key opportunities for member engagement, and work to influence policy in a way that supports both public confidence and business viability.
One of the best ways for LLSSA members to get involved, meet legislators, and make your voice heard is during LLSSA’s Capital Day on March 25, 2026. On that day, LLSSA will host an information table in the Louisiana State Capitol Rotunda, providing an opportunity for members to connect with their elected representatives one-on-one. This is a unique chance to talk directly with lawmakers about the issues that matter most to your business, your employees, and the clients you serve.
You don’t need to be a seasoned advocate to participate — just bring your professional experience and a willingness to share how specific policies affect your work. Legislators value hearing from constituents who know the practical implications of proposed laws, and your presence makes a difference.
As the session approaches, LLSSA will share regular updates on priority legislation, committee schedules, and ways to engage. We encourage you to stay informed, stay connected, and use the resources LLSSA and SSG provide to make this legislative session count.
Together, we can help shape policies that strengthen Louisiana’s life safety and property protection industry while promoting safer communities for all.
