With this year's regular session four weeks behind him, Gov. John Bel Edwards endorsed his final batch of bills Monday and essentially closed the legislative policy book for his inaugural term in office.
Like many members of the state Legislature, Edwards is up for re-election this fall and the recent session was his final shot to deliver on campaign promises and influence legislation.
The governor signed three bills into law, including Act 20 and Act 30, which will guide the state's spending on major infrastructure projects.
