House Bill No. by Representative Butler establishes a special statewide election scheduled for April 18, 2026. The purpose of this election is to submit proposed constitutional amendments to the electors of Louisiana, which must be contained in joint resolutions that have been concurred in by both houses of the legislature during the Regular Session. The bill outlines that the election will be conducted in accordance with the Louisiana Election Code.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it will become effective upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without a signature. If the bill is vetoed but later approved by the legislature, it will take effect the day after that approval. Importantly, the bill will be void if no proposed constitutional amendment is concurred in by both houses during the 2025 Regular Session that specifies this election as the one for submission to the electors.
