BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Conservative House lawmakers said Tuesday they will push a package of proposals that aim to expand the areas of the state budget that can be cut during shortfalls and to limit the use of patchwork funding for ongoing programs.

Rep. Brett Geymann, a Republican leading the “Budget Reform Coalition,” outlined the basic concepts to a Baton Rouge-based business organization. The bills will be unveiled next week, to be considered in the legislative session that begins in April.
