Changes

In 2012, Jackson co-sponsored [[parole]] eligibility for non-violent offenders. He voted to establish tax incentives to recruit a [[National Basketball Association]] team to Louisiana but opposed state income tax deductions to taxpayers donating to scholarship funds. He voted against the requirement that welfare recipients undergo periodic testing for use of [[narcotics]]. He opposed reducing the number of hours that polling stations remain open; Louisiana traditionally has had 14-hour election days. He voted to forbid telephone use while driving but earlier had agreed to the use of other hand-held devices while driving. He supported changes to the [[Tenure|teacher tenure]] law. In 2011, he supported a permanent [[cigarette]] tax and backed a failed bill which supporters said would curb [[bullying]] in public schools. He supported [[redistricting]] of the [[United States House of Representatives]] but did not vote on a similar bill for the state Senate.<ref name=votingrecords/>​
