House Bill No. by Representative Mike Johnson enacts a new provision in Louisiana law, specifically R.S. 18:1401(G), which addresses objections to candidacy. This new section establishes penalties for candidates who knowingly attest to false information in their notice of candidacy. If a court determines that a candidate has provided false information, it is mandated to assess court costs and attorney fees against the candidate, and it may impose additional sanctions deemed appropriate by the court.

The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature. Should the governor veto the bill and the legislature subsequently approves it, the act will become effective the day after that approval.
