2026 Regular Session Introduced by Denise Marcelle and 3 co-sponsors

Urges Shreveport to create an interest-free loan program for active TSA agents at Shreveport Regional Airport.

Taken by the Clerk of the House and presented to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Rules of the House.

Summary of HR 84 (Session 2026) – Louisiana

Purpose and intent

HR 84 is a local resolution that urges and requests the city of Shreveport to create a specific loan program.

The targeted program would be an interest-free loan initiative intended for active Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents stationed at the Shreveport Regional Airport.

As a resolution, it expresses the perspective and recommendation of the Louisiana House of Representatives rather than establishing a new law or mandatory policy.

Key provisions and changes

The bill does not itself enact a program or allocate funds. Instead, it:

Urges the city of Shreveport to design an interest-free loan program.
Specifies that the program would be aimed at TSA agents who are actively serving at Shreveport Regional Airport.

Being a non-binding resolution, it would function as guidance to municipal leadership and relevant city departments to consider establishing such a program.

Affected parties and stakeholders

Primary beneficiaries: Active TSA agents employed at Shreveport Regional Airport who would potentially benefit from an interest-free loan program.

Local government actors: City of Shreveport officials and departments responsible for economic development, financial services, and personnel programs who would evaluate or implement the suggested loan program.

Additional stakeholders: Airport operations, TSA personnel, and the local workforce who may see indirect benefits from improved TSA staff support and retention.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Action history indicates:

March 31, 2026: Read by title and lies over under the rules (a procedural step indicating it is being considered but not yet acted upon in full at that time).
May 7, 2026: Reported favorably with a 12-0 vote (likely out of committee), suggesting strong support within the committee process.

As a house resolution, typical steps might include passage by the Louisiana House of Representatives and potential transmission to the City of Shreveport for consideration; it does not require approval by the Senate or the governor to become effective since it is a recommendation to a local government rather than a state law.

Contains co-sponsors: Denise Marcelle, Joy Walters, Ed Murray, and Pat Moore, indicating cross-membership support.

Practical implications

If the City of Shreveport chooses to act on the resolution, it could lead to:

The development of an internal policy or program design for an interest-free loan fund targeted at TSA agents.
Potential consideration of criteria (eligibility, loan limits, repayment terms, oversight) and funding mechanisms for the program.

The resolution’s influence depends on local political will and administrative capacity; as a recommendation, it does not mandate action but signals legislative encouragement.

Notes

The text provided describes the bill as a local government measure aimed at Shreveport and TSA personnel, with no state-wide fiscal impact attached to the bill itself.

For a complete understanding, legislative staff notes and the final enacted form (if adopted) would clarify any specific qualifications, implementation timelines, and funding considerations.
