LOCAL GOVERNMENT: (Constitutional Amendment) Provides for home rule charter or plan of government provisions affecting certain parish officials and school boards

This constitutional amendment would allow parishes operating under home rule charters to authorize local ethics entities to audit or investigate school boards and specific elected officials (including district attorneys, sheriffs, assessors, clerks of court, and coroners). Currently, home rule charters cannot include such provisions for these offices. The amendment removes this restriction while clarifying that the state legislature may still enact laws related to local ethics oversight. It directly affects parishes using home rule charters in Louisiana and changes how local governments can structure oversight of key public offices.
