LEGISLATORS/TERMS: (Constitutional Amendment) Provides for legislative term limits (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

HB 528 proposes a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Louisiana state legislators. It would bar senators or representatives who have served more than two and a half terms in three consecutive terms (since 1996) from running for re-election for a full decade after their third consecutive term ends. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2026 election, where voters would decide whether to adopt this 10-year ban on re-election for term-limited lawmakers. If approved, it would change the current term limit rules under Article III, Section 4(E) of the Louisiana Constitution.
