Green\n\nKyle Green is an American politician and a member of the Democratic Party who serves in the Louisiana House of Representatives, where he holds the position of Minority Leader.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) He has also served as chair of the House Democratic Caucus.[2](https://pro.stateaffairs.com/la/politics/new-pod-house-dem-chair) Green represents Marrero, and his legislative work has included proposals to change the state's legislative calendar and campaign finance rules.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/)\n\n| Fact | Detail |\n| --- | --- |\n| Party | Democratic[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) |\n| Current office | Minority Leader, Louisiana House of Representatives[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) |\n| Previous offices | House Democratic Caucus Chair[2](https://pro.stateaffairs.com/la/politics/new-pod-house-dem-chair) |\n\n## Party affiliation\n\nGreen is a Democrat.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) He has served as chair of the House Democratic Caucus, a role in which he discussed his party's legislative strategy, redistricting, and other issues.[2](https://pro.stateaffairs.com/la/politics/new-pod-house-dem-chair)\n\n## Career\n\nGreen serves in the Louisiana House of Representatives, where he is Minority Leader.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) As House Democratic Caucus Chair, he participated in a discussion of the caucus's strategy for legislative growth, the ongoing regular session, redistricting, and the need for a new state constitution.[2](https://pro.stateaffairs.com/la/politics/new-pod-house-dem-chair) As chairman of a party caucus, Green joined others in overseeing activities ranging from advocacy to fundraising events, including the Donkey Romp.[2](https://pro.stateaffairs.com/la/politics/new-pod-house-dem-chair)\n\nIn the House, Green proposed House Bill 752, a constitutional amendment that advanced out of committee and headed to the House floor, where further amendments were expected.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) He was also scheduled to present House Bill 307, which would have allowed the governor and legislators to accept and deposit campaign contributions during a regular legislative session, but he moved to defer it.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/)\n\n## Issues specific to Green\n\nGreen's proposal to restructure the legislative calendar drew a mix of support and skepticism from legislators.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) [Jim Patterson](https://www.edgepedia.org/jim-patterson), representing the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, said his members are largely satisfied with the current system and that businesses like consistency and certainty.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) Green pushed back, saying, \"I don't understand the hesitancy… because there are still mechanisms already in place that would create uncertainty for businesses.\"[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) He noted that lawmakers already have mechanisms, such as petitioning to reconvene, that introduce uncertainty.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/)\n\nGreen also raised a logistical concern himself, noting that the Revenue Estimating Conference, which estimates how much revenue the [Legislature](https://www.edgepedia.org/legislature) will have to spend, currently meets in May, which could be a problem under the proposed schedule; he said logistical issues can be adjusted.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/)\n\n## Positions and voting record\n\n### Legislative procedure\n\nGreen argues that the current system governing Louisiana's legislative sessions is too rigid.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) \"How we govern ourselves as a legislature, I think, should be strictly up to us,\" he said.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) He believes provisions in the state constitution governing the timing and duration of sessions are overly restrictive, and that shifting them to joint rules, which lawmakers can modify more easily, would modernize the system.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) He noted that his approach mirrors how the U.S. Constitution outlines congressional sessions, leaving more procedural control to lawmakers themselves.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/)\n\n### Campaign finance\n\nGreen scheduled House Bill 307 for presentation, a measure meant to allow the governor and legislators to accept and deposit campaign contributions during a regular legislative session, but he moved to defer it.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/) [Fundraising](https://www.edgepedia.org/fundraising) during legislative sessions has been off-limits.[1](https://www.wbrz.com/news/proposed-bill-aims-to-give-state-legislature-more-flexibility-about-when-it-meets-and-how-it-works/)\n\n## References\n\n1.
