(The Center Square) − Louisiana lawmakers passed the state’s $49.3 billion general appropriations budget (House Bill 1) on the final day of the legislative session, with near-unanimous support. It will now head to Gov. Jeff Landry’s desk to be signed into law.

Rep. Danny McCormick, R-Oil City, cast the lone vote against the bill, citing frustration over reduced funding for the Louisiana Giving All True Opportunity to Rise scholarship program.
