CONSTITUTION/AMENDMENT: (Constitutional Amendment) Changes the process for amending the constitution

HB 471 proposes a constitutional amendment to Louisiana's Article XIII, Section 1(B), requiring each constitutional amendment to address only one specific change rather than allowing multiple changes bundled into a single proposal. This would remove the current provision that lets the legislature propose revisions to entire constitutional articles containing multiple objects or changes. The bill directly affects the Louisiana legislature (which proposes amendments) and voters (who approve or reject them), requiring clearer, single-topic proposals for future constitutional changes. It will be submitted to voters in the November 2026 election with a ballot question specifying the change.
