House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to change the mandatory retirement age for judges in Louisiana from seventy years to seventy-five years. The amendment specifically states that a judge shall not remain in office beyond their seventy-fifth birthday, while allowing judges who reach this age during their term to complete their current term. This change applies to all judges who are sworn into office on or after January 1, 1997.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during a statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026, or at an earlier authorized election. The ballot will include a proposition asking voters if they support the amendment to the Constitution of Louisiana, which would enforce the new retirement age for judges. The bill also includes technical amendments and clarifications related to the changes being proposed.
