House Bill No. 405, introduced by Representative Willard, mandates that the Secretary of State of Louisiana prepare and publish a revised version of the Louisiana Election Code following any legislative session that results in changes to the Code. Specifically, the bill requires that within sixty days after the session's adjournment, the Secretary of State must publish a revised version of the Code on their website, incorporating all changes made. Additionally, within ninety days of the session's adjournment, a plain language digest summarizing the effects, enforcement mechanisms, and implementation dates of the changes must also be published online.

This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accessibility regarding changes in election law, ensuring that the public and relevant stakeholders are informed in a timely manner. The bill retains the existing powers and duties of the Secretary of State while adding these new requirements to improve the dissemination of election law information. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
