Only fellow Republican Ray Garofalo of Chalmette stood with Johnson.
Governor Bobby Jindal, who supported the legislation, then issued an executive order to implement the measure. Johnson said that he will in 2016, if he is reelected, re-introduce the measure because he prefers a statutory law to address the issue.
Johnson explained that the measure is designed to block the state government from pulling licenses or tax benefits from a company because of the owner"s counter view of same-sex marriage.
