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 amendment stipulates that these officials will be elected during regular congressional elections in years without a regularly scheduled presidential election. Additionally, the bill extends the terms of current officials elected to specific terms beginning in 2024, ensuring they remain in office until 2031, with the next regular elections for these positions scheduled for 2030.

The proposed amendment also includes a provision that exempts Orleans Parish from these changes and repeals existing constitutional language related to the transition of terms for members of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. The amendment will be submitted to voters for approval during the statewide election on November 5, 2024. The legal language changes include the insertion of new provisions regarding election timing and term extensions, while deleting outdated references to previous election schedules and terms.
