House Bill No. by Representative Thomas enacts a new provision in Louisiana law that prohibits registered sex offenders and child predators from serving as early voting election commissioners. Specifically, it adds a new clause to R.S. 18:1309(K)(2) stating that individuals who are required to register as sex offenders or child predators under R.S. 15:542 are ineligible for this role.

The bill aims to enhance the integrity of the electoral process by ensuring that individuals with such serious criminal backgrounds cannot participate in overseeing early voting. The effective date of the law will be upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution.
