2022 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Local Issues


John Bel Edwards: Protect tenants from wrongful evictions after hurricanes

Suffering damage due to a natural disaster is life altering. And yet, there are landlords who have used it as an opportunity for a cash grab. There are no meaningful repercussions to discourage landlords from proceeding with wrongful evictions. We're going to change that. We all know what it's like to have to make the difficult decision to temporarily leave our homes because of a storm. Imagine being evicted simply because you chose to keep your family safe.

John Bel Edwards: Hold insurance companies accountable for post-storm actions

It's unacceptable that many residents are more scared of their insurance companies than the storm itself. We have got to hold companies more accountable. My legislative package includes a number of bills focused on hurricane deductibles, claim transparency, enforcing insurance fraud laws against bad actors, revamping the adjuster registry so that policyholders can verify their adjusters, and stopping mortgage companies from withholding insurance money from homeowners without good reason.
