Louisiana establishes in law a military advisory council

Louisiana Economic Development now has a military affairs committee. Gov. Bobby Jindal recently signed into law a bill creating the Louisiana Military Advisory Council, which replaces a similarly named board whose existence required an executive order every year.

Stephen Moret, Jindal’s economic development secretary, told The Times-Picayune in March that states “most successful in cultivating military operations tended to have some type of permanent military advisory panel established in state law.”

The 25-member council’s members include Jindal and Louisiana National Guard adjutant Brig. Gen. Glenn Curtis and members of regional civilian organizations whose missions are to advocate for the military installations in their communities.
