Economic Freedom and Commonsense Reform for Louisiana’s Hair Braiders
27 May 2025
News
Louisiana is close to doing something long overdue. House Bill (HB) 509 by Representative Pat Moore, which would enhance economic freedom and bring commonsense reform for Louisiana’s hair braiders, recently passed Louisiana’s House of Representatives with bipartisan support. The bill awaits a hearing in the Senate Committee on Commerce. Representative Mike Bayham also introduced a similar bill, HB 370. If one of these bills becomes law, Louisiana would become the 38th state in taking a step toward safeguarding economic independence, honoring cultural tradition, and removing excessive red tape for these Louisiana entrepreneurs.
And no matter where Louisianans fall on the political spectrum, this is something to celebrate.
