HB 6 Louisiana House · 2024 Third Extraordinary Session

ELECTIONS/SPECIAL: Calls a special statewide election on March 29, 2025, for submitting proposed constitutional amendments to the state's electors (Item #22) (EN +$3,281,010 GF EX See Note)

This bill establishes a special statewide election to be held on March 29, 2025, specifically for Louisiana voters to consider proposed changes to the state constitution. The election will only take place if the legislature successfully passes joint resolutions containing these constitutional amendments during its current 2024 session. The bill outlines the legal framework for conducting this election in accordance with existing election laws and specifies that the measure becomes effective once signed by the governor or after a set period if not vetoed. If no constitutional amendments are approved by the legislature during the specified session, the entire election provision will become void and have no effect.
