The proposed bill seeks to amend Article V of the Louisiana Constitution, specifically Sections 5(B), 15(A), and 16(A), to enhance the jurisdiction of the Louisiana Supreme Court and to allow for the establishment of trial courts with limited or specialized jurisdiction. The amendments would grant the Supreme Court exclusive original jurisdiction over disciplinary proceedings against attorneys from other jurisdictions who practice law in Louisiana, including those specially admitted for specific cases. Additionally, the bill allows the legislature to create trial courts of limited or specialized jurisdiction, with the requirement that such laws be enacted by a two-thirds majority of the elected members in each house.

The bill also modifies the language regarding the jurisdiction of district courts, clarifying their original jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters, and specifying that family courts may handle cases related to the partition of community property and claims arising from matrimonial regimes. The proposed amendments will be presented to the voters of Louisiana in a statewide election scheduled for March 29, 2025, allowing them to decide whether to support the changes that would enhance the Supreme Court's authority and enable the establishment of specialized courts.
