Senate Bill No. SLS 25RS-142 proposes a constitutional amendment to Article III, Section 2(A)(4)(b) of the Louisiana Constitution, which governs the legislative sessions held in odd-numbered years. The amendment seeks to increase the number of non-fiscal general bills that a legislator can prefile from five to seven. Additionally, it expands the subject matter restrictions for legislation during these sessions to include bills that dedicate or rededicate funds, while maintaining existing restrictions on matters such as appropriations, taxes, fees, and bond issuance.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters in a statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026, or April 18, 2026, if an earlier election is authorized. The ballot proposition will ask voters whether they support the changes to the number of prefiled bills and the inclusion of fund dedication legislation in the subject matter restrictions for odd-numbered year sessions.
