Senate Bill No. 113, introduced by Senator Seabaugh, aims to establish term limits and qualifications for members of the DeSoto Parish Police Jury. The bill enacts R.S. 33:1221.3, which stipulates that no individual who has served more than two and one-half terms in three consecutive terms will be eligible for re-election to the police jury. Additionally, the proposed term limits will only take effect if approved by a majority of voters in an election scheduled for November 3, 2026. The bill retains the existing provision that police jurors serve four-year terms.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that its provisions will apply prospectively, meaning they will not affect current police jurors elected before the effective date of the law, which is set for August 1, 2025. This legislation is designed to promote turnover and fresh representation within the DeSoto Parish Police Jury while ensuring that the electorate has a say in the implementation of these term limits.
