House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to increase the membership of the Public Service Commission in Louisiana from five to seven members. The amendment stipulates that five members will continue to be elected for overlapping six-year terms from single-member districts, while two additional members will be appointed by the governor, subject to Senate approval, and will serve at-large for a maximum of two consecutive four-year terms. This change aims to enhance representation within the commission.

Additionally, the bill retains the existing provision that prohibits any individual from serving more than two and a half terms in three consecutive terms on the commission, but it removes the applicability clause that previously exempted individuals elected before a certain date. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026, allowing the electorate to decide on the increase in commission membership.
