House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to change the timing of elections for various state officials in Louisiana, including state legislators, the governor, and other statewide elected officials, as well as members of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, sheriffs, clerks of court, coroners, and tax assessors. The bill stipulates that these officials will be elected during regular congressional elections in years without a regularly scheduled presidential election. Additionally, it extends the terms of current officials elected to specific terms, ensuring they remain in office until 2031, with the next regular elections for these positions scheduled for 2030. The amendment does not apply to elections for certain positions in Orleans Parish.

The proposed amendment also includes several changes to existing constitutional language, such as the repeal of Article VIII, Section 15, and the introduction of new provisions regarding the election timing and term extensions for various officials. Specifically, it clarifies that state legislators and other officials will serve four-year terms, with the next election cycle aligning with congressional elections. The bill is set to be submitted to voters for approval during the statewide election on November 5, 2024.
