the Ka'Mauri Harrison Act:
"Today,
the Louisiana House - in a bi-partisan and unanimous manner - passed
the Ka'Mauri Harrison Act, which will ensure due process for our children in
this age of virtual learning. I thank Representative Romero and Chairman
Garofalo for sponsoring this important students’ rights bill. Most importantly,
I thank the bill's namesake - Ka'Mauri Harrison - who has shown courage and
maturity well beyond his years. I now look forward to working with Senator
Fields to secure a smooth passage through the upper chamber."
