state governments agencies are cap subject or cap exempt?

My name is Hari Krishna. Right now, I’m working for a state agency of Louisiana as a contract position. They are trying to make it full time position. I have two questions

  1. State agencies are cap subject or cap exempt?

  2. Minimum salary for level 1 and level 2 h1b visa filing?

  1. Not always. Unless, it is a Govt research organization. Check current offered H1B salaries by searching city or Location
