In 2024, Ventrella voted in favor of advancing House Bill 545 from the Administration of Criminal Justice committee.[5] The bill, filed by Republican Beryl Amedee, would remove legal protections for obscenity from teachers and librarians in all Louisiana public schools.[6]

Also in 2024, Ventrella cosponsored House Bill 71, which mandates that a poster of the Ten Commandments be displayed in every Louisiana classroom at schools that receive state funding, from kindergarten through the university level.[7]
