House Bill No. 452, introduced by Representative Carpenter, aims to amend the regulations surrounding charter school governing bodies in Louisiana. The bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 17:3992(D)(3), which stipulates that a member of the governing body of a charter holder that has been reconstituted due to specific violations cannot simultaneously hold another public office. This measure is intended to ensure accountability and integrity within charter school governance, particularly when a governing body has been reconstituted due to serious infractions such as financial mismanagement or failure to meet accountability standards.

The bill retains existing laws regarding charter school revisions and renewals, including the conditions under which a charter may be revoked or a governing body reconstituted. It emphasizes that the decision to reconstitute must be in the best interest of the students and considers the severity of any violations. The proposed law will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
