LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS: (Constitutional Amendment) Provides that the timing and duration of regular sessions of the legislature may be set by joint rule of the legislature (EGF DECREASE GF EX See Note)

HB 752 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Louisiana's regular legislative sessions are scheduled. It would remove current fixed dates (like March 2nd for even years and April 2nd for odd years) and deadlines (such as 60 legislative days for even years), instead letting the legislature set session timing through joint rule. This directly affects the Louisiana Legislature by giving it authority to determine session start dates, duration, and scheduling rules without constitutional constraints. The amendment also modifies rules for organizational sessions and session extensions, but the core change is shifting session scheduling authority from the constitution to legislative rules. The proposal is currently prefiled and will be submitted to voters in the 2026 election.
