The boundary has to be approved by congress before it is official. Right now it is still 3 miles. Congress will more than likely approve it, just takes time.
As far as the state weekends only season.. I believe they are waiting for a decision from the National Marine Fisheries on whether or not they will zone off the gulf and let each state manage their zone. If they decide to retain full management of the gulf then Louisiana may proceed with their weekends only season in state waters.
