1. Support Hb555: Support ThE LOUISIANA MEDICAL FREEDOM ACT
This session’s flagship health freedom legislation is HB555 by Rep Beryl Amedée and Rep Danny McCormick – the Louisiana Medical Freedom Act. This groundbreaking legislation protects employees and business owners by prohibiting the option to mandate medical interventions.
As the bill states: “. . . society is harmed by discrimination based on medical mandates . . . when healthy persons are prevented from participating in society and accessing employment opportunities. The legislature also finds that remedies to prevent such discrimination are in the best interest of this state.”
2. Support HB377: Support the RIGHT TO REFUSE EUA DRUGS ACT
Rep Chuck Owen authors HB377, the Right to Refuse Emergency Use Authorization Drugs Act. Louisianans were denied informed consent when offered Emergency Use Authorized drugs during covid, specifically the right to refuse these drugs. This legislation guarantees that patients are fully informed, including disclosure that the product is authorized under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and all known benefits and risks. It also prohibits any form of coercion or discrimination based on an individual’s decision to refuse.
“The purpose . . . is to ensure that individuals are fully informed of their right to refuse a medical device, test, pharmaceutical, drug, vaccine, or biological product that is authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration through the Emergency Use Authorization process and to provide procedures for obtaining informed consent before any medical device, test, pharmaceutical, drug, vaccine, or biological product with an emergency use authorization is administered.”
3. Support HB629: Support the MEDICAL FREEDOM AND INFORMED CONSENT ACT
Rep Jay Gallé’s HB629, the Medical Freedom and Informed Consent Act, will ensure that coercion is removed from the medical consent process. An element of coercion in the medical consent process constitutes a human rights violation.
“The purpose of this Act is to affirm the right that individuals have to voluntary, informed consent for all medical interventions and establish protections against coercion, discrimination, and violation of this right.”
4. Support SB2: WATER SHOULD HYDRATE NOT MEDICATE, SUPPORT THE STOP OF WATER FLUORIDATION
There are multiple studies indicating serious harm associated with ingesting fluoride, but the core issue of fluoridated public water systems is the lack of informed consent. Medicating entire populations without individual choice or medical oversight violates this foundational tenet of ethical health care.
Whatever your stance on fluoride’s risks or benefits, no one has the right to medicate you without your permission. Yet under current Louisiana law, hundreds of thousands of residents are being medicated through public water systems—without their knowledge or consent.
SB2 by Senators Mike Fesi and Patrick McMath prioritizes informed consent by prohibiting mass fluoridation of public water systems.
5. Support HB419: BIOATTACKS ARE CRIMINAL ACTS
Rep Beryl Amedée is on track to be the first to pass another historic piece of legislation, HB419, which creates the crime of intentionally releasing an engineered, self-spreading pathogen.
Think the concept is a “solution in search of a problem?” Scientists have been developing the technology for years now. A June 2022 article in Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist states:
“It’s a development that Scott Nuismer, a biologist and leading figure in self-spreading vaccine research, said “moved us closer to the point where these challenges” in deploying a vaccine can be solved. But self-spreading vaccine technology is inherently risky. Once let loose, the vaccine could recombine with human pathogens. Also, it could help malicious actors create viruses capable of causing pandemics. Despite these risks, self-spreading vaccine research appears to be moving forward.”
Rep. Amedée’s legislation acts as a critical barrier against the introduction of this risky technology in Louisiana.
6. Support HB400: SUPPORT PARENTAL INFORMED CONSENT IN HEALTH DECISIONS
HB400, introduced by Rep Emily Chenevert and Rep Dodie Horton, defends the fundamental right of parents to make medical decisions for their children. Current law has a disturbing loophole that allows predatory practices in healthcare. We are thankful for the efforts to get this bill introduced and protect Louisiana children by protecting parental informed consent in all healthcare decisions.
7. Support SB19: END THE GATEKEEPING – OTC IVERMECTIN NOW!
Rep Kathy Edmonston introduced HB112 to ensure that physicians can prescribe medications off-label without interference from licensing boards. This legislation is a result of the many instances during covid when pharmacists refused to fill prescriptions due to propoganda from state and federal health agencies and local governing boards.
8. Support HB112: FREEDOM TO PRESCRIBE, POWER TO HEAL
Rep Kathy Edmonston introduced HB112 to ensure that physicians can prescribe medications off-label without interference from licensing boards. This legislation is a result of the many instances during covid when pharmacists refused to fill prescriptions due to propoganda from state and federal health agencies and local governing boards.
9. Support SB14: SUPPORT BAN THE ADDITIVES, FEED THE FUTURE BILL
We’re thrilled to see Senator Patrick McMath introduce comprehensive legislation, SB14, to ensure that Louisiana children have access to food free from harmful chemicals and dyes. When considering the chronic disease epidemic our country faces, removing these questionable ingredients—that no other country allows—is a great start!
ACTION: SB14 will be heard in Senate Health and Welfare on Wednesday, April 30th! If you can attend and submit a green card in support, meet at 9:30 a.m. in the John J. Hainkel, Jr. Room.

10. Support SB117: REAL FOOD FOR GROWING MINDS
Senator Blake Miguez has introduced SB117, aimed at ensuring that Louisiana school lunches are free from harmful chemicals and dyes, as well as minimally processed. We love seeing our tax dollars being spent in a responsible way to influence change on the plates and lives of our most treasured resource, our children.
ACTION: This bill will receive a vote before the full senate on Monday, April 28th! Contact your state senator and ask that they vote YES on SB117!

11. Support HB608: LOUISIANA ATMOSPHERIC PROTECTION ACT
Beyond medical mandates, one of the most frequent concerns we hear from our members is the spraying of chemicals into the atmosphere and its impact on both human health and the environment. We are so thankful to see that concern reflected in legislation introduced by Rep Kim Coates and Senator Valarie Hodges. HB608 will prohibit this practice from continuing in Louisiana and protect Louisiana’s atmosphere.
12. Support SB46: Support the END TO CHEMICAL WEATHER MODIFICATION
Did you know that Louisiana law allows chemical weather manipulation?
When the law was passed in 1956, the legislature failed to consider a basic principle: what goes up, must come down. While the state may claim sovereignty over its airspace, it has no authority to permit the release of substances that ultimately fall onto the land, homes, and bodies of Louisiana residents.
We urge you to support Senator Fesi’s SB46—this critical bill will put an end to chemical weather modification and protect both our people and our land.
ACTION: Protect our skies and our health — contact your state senator today and urge them to support SB46 by Senator Mike Fesi as it goes before the full senate for a floor vote on Monday, April 28th!

13. Support HB150: LEGALIZE LOCAL. EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS
After her phenomenal success last year in legalizing the sale of raw milk, Rep Kim Coates continues her quest for food freedom by introducing the Louisiana Food Freedom Act, which empowers local food producers in the cottage food industry.
By expanding opportunities for small-scale producers, the Louisiana Food Freedom Act strengthens local economies, promotes self-sufficiency, and increases access to wholesome, locally made food. Rep Coates’ continued leadership reflects a growing movement in Louisiana to restore common-sense food policy, rooted in individual choice, transparency, and economic empowerment.
14. Support HB386: GOLD BACK. FUTURE SECURE.
We are thankful that Rep Raymond Crews has once again introduced common-sense legislation to back currency with gold with HB386.
Why is gold-backed currency a health freedom issue?
Just like food freedom and health freedom, monetary freedom gives people an alternative system to opt into—a way to function outside of structures that might punish dissent.
When individuals have control over how they store and spend their money, they are less vulnerable to coercive systems that link financial access to medical compliance (e.g., mandates tied to digital IDs, insurance, or employment).
Gold and other decentralized currencies offer a hedge against centralized financial systems that could enforce health-based restrictions, such as refusing services or benefits based on vaccination status or medical choices.
Centralized financial systems are increasingly integrated with digital tracking, social credit-style systems, and public health enforcement mechanisms.
15. Support HB454: DOULAS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Finally, we support HB454, introduced by Rep Dustin Miller, to add doula services to Medicaid coverage. We are happy to see an expansion of services that will positively impact the lives of pregnant mamas across the state. Doulas provide consistent, one-on-one support in settings where hospital staff often rotate, offering emotional, physical, and informational care while respecting and advocating for each woman’s birth plan and personal preferences throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery.
16. Support HB408: Support a bill that Require insurance companies to cover treatment of PANS/PANDAS
HB408 by Rep. Kellee Dickerson will require insurance companies to cover treatment of PANS/PANDAS.
PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) are serious medical conditions where an infection or immune dysfunction triggers sudden, severe psychiatric symptoms in children — including anxiety, OCD, tics, and cognitive decline. Early and aggressive treatment, including antibiotics, immunotherapy, and supportive therapies, can dramatically improve outcomes. Yet many insurance companies refuse to cover these necessary treatments, leaving families to shoulder crushing medical bills or forcing children to go without care. Ensuring insurance coverage for PANS/PANDAS treatment is critical to protecting children’s health, restoring their futures, and lifting an unjust burden off families.
Children are suffering. Families are going broke. Recovery is possible — but only if treatment is accessible.
If you are able to attend and submit a green card in support, the Committee on Insurance meets Tuesday, April 29, 2025, in Committee Room 3 at 9:00 a.m.
TAKE ACTION HERE!
In addition to this list, we oppose two pieces of legislation, HB486 by Rep Adrian Fisher and SB121 by Senator Larry Selders, both intended to provide mental health counseling at schools.
Mental health counseling is not an endeavor that should take place outside the parental purview. While both bills require prior parental consent, the counselor is not of the parent’s choosing, and the counseling sessions take place without the parents present. It advances the concerning trend of shifting parental responsibilities onto schools, undermining their true role as places of learning.
