This bill proposes an amendment to the Louisiana Constitution that would allow the legislature to extend regular sessions for a limited time under specific circumstances. It seeks to amend Article III, Section 2(A)(3)(a) and (4)(a) and add Section 2(A)(5). The proposed changes include the ability for the legislature to extend a regular session in increments of two legislative or calendar days, with a maximum extension of six days, specifically to finalize the passage of a bill appropriating money. During any extended session, the legislature would be restricted from considering any matters that have the effect of law other than those related to the appropriations bill.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous stipulations that limited regular sessions to a specific number of calendar days, allowing for more flexibility in session management. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Louisiana for approval during the statewide election scheduled for December 7, 2024. The ballot will include a proposition asking voters if they support the amendment to allow for these extensions under the outlined conditions.
