This bill proposes an amendment to the Louisiana Constitution by adding Article III, Section 16(F), which establishes new requirements for the consideration of appropriations bills. Specifically, it mandates that no conference committee report or amendment from the Senate on a bill appropriating money can be considered for concurrence until at least forty-eight hours have passed after the bill, along with a summary detailing the proposed changes and any additional required information, has been distributed to each member of the legislature.

The proposed amendment aims to enhance transparency and allow legislators adequate time to review appropriations bills before voting on them. If approved, this amendment will be presented to the voters of Louisiana during the statewide election scheduled for December 7, 2024, allowing them to decide whether to support the requirement for a waiting period prior to concurring in such reports or amendments.
