re: Does Louisiana have a super majority in the house and/or the senate?

I think republicans are one house member away...

The republicans have a supermajority in the state senate but they are two votes short in the state house. However, there are two independents in the state house, Joe Marino who describes himself as a fiscal conservative but social liberal, and Roy Adams who I can't find anything about online except that he is opposed to budget cuts that hurt his rural district.

Having a supermajority in the state legislature would have been great, but the main thing is that the republicans that are in the legislature now are A LOT more conservative than they used to be. Louisiana Committee for a Conservative Majority (a super PAC founded by Jeff Landry and John Kennedy) got most of those republicans elected and that is not going to be good for JBE who had a hard time working with the last legislature which was made up mostly of RINOs.
