This bill proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Louisiana 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 submitted to the electors of Louisiana for a vote during the statewide election scheduled for December 7, 2024. The ballot will include a proposition asking voters whether they support the requirement for a waiting period before concurring in such reports or amendments.
