On May 19, 2015, Representative Huval joined three fellow [[Moderate Republican]]s sitting on the House Civil Law and Procedure Committee who voted to table on a 10-2 vote the proposed Marriage and Conscience Act, authored by Republican then state Representative [[Mike Johnson]] of Bossier Parish, who in 2016 was elected to Louisiana's 4th congressional district seat. Johnson's legislation carried the support of the [[conservative]] Louisiana Family Forum and Republican then [[Governor]] [[Bobby Jindal]]. Nancy Landry, another Moderate Republican from [[Lafayette]], also opposed the Marriage and Conscience Act. She left the House in 2019 to become chief of staff to Louisiana Secretary of State [[Kyle Ardoin]]. Only fellow Republican [[Ray Garofalo]] of Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish, stood with Johnson. After the defeat, Jindal announced an executive order to implement the measure. Johnson explained that the measure was designed to block the state government from retaliatory action against a company because the owner may oppose same-sex marriage.<ref>Emily Lane, "Louisiana's religious freedom bill effectively defeated in committee," ''The New Orleans Times-Picayune,'' May 19, 2015.</ref>
