House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to add Article VIII, Section 17 to the Constitution of Louisiana, which would prohibit high school interscholastic extracurricular athletic associations from receiving tax revenues or other public monies. The bill aims to ensure that these associations operate independently of public funding, thereby reinforcing the separation between public resources and extracurricular activities in high schools.
The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Louisiana for approval during the statewide election scheduled for March 29, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition asking voters if they support the amendment to prohibit the receipt of tax revenues or other public monies by these athletic associations.
