House Bill No. 532, introduced by Representative Miller, amends existing law regarding sales and use tax elections in certain municipalities in Louisiana. The bill specifically targets municipalities with populations between 15,000 and 16,000, allowing them to conduct elections for expiring sales and use taxes on Saturdays that are not otherwise designated for such elections under current law. This provision requires the approval of the State Bond Commission, the governor, and the secretary of state, with a two-thirds vote from the Commission.

Additionally, the bill amends R.S. 18:1283(B) to include the new election date provision in R.S. 18:402.1, which allows for special elections to be called on these newly designated Saturdays. The bill aims to provide municipalities with greater flexibility in managing tax elections, ensuring that they can address expiring taxes in a timely manner. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
