BATON ROUGE — The full Senate is scheduled to vote soon on legislation that would restructure the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board.

The Senate Natural Resources Committee voted unanimously Thursday to approve the legislation after listening to a small chorus of opposition.
Sen. Norby Chabert, R-Houma, said the board has undergone many transformations since being formed by the Legislature in 1984.
