HB 873 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

ELECTIONS: Provides relative to elections (EN INCREASE GF EX See Note)

HB 873 makes minor technical adjustments to the state election code by updating specific legal citations and clarifying the structure of a section within the law. These changes do not alter election procedures, voter eligibility, or campaign rules but instead refine the legal references used in existing statutes. The bill directly affects the legal framework governing elections by ensuring that citations point to the correct, current sections of the Revised Statutes. As a procedural amendment, it does not introduce new policies or change how elections are conducted.
