ELECTION DAYS: Provides that bond and tax elections shall be held only on regularly scheduled fall election dates (RE SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

HB 400 requires all bond and tax elections (where voters decide on local funding proposals) to be held only on specific fall election dates established by Louisiana law, rather than on other available dates. This directly affects local governments and school districts that hold such elections, as they must now schedule them exclusively on the designated fall dates. The bill modifies existing law to eliminate flexibility for holding these elections outside the standard fall schedule, with a narrow exception for parcel fee elections in certain security districts within large municipalities. It will take effect on January 1, 2028, contingent on approval of a related constitutional amendment in a statewide vote.
