House Bill No. by Representative Butler proposes a special statewide election to be held on April 18, 2026, aimed at submitting proposed constitutional amendments to the state's electors. The bill outlines that this election will occur in accordance with the Louisiana Election Code and will only be valid if at least one joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment is concurred in by both houses of the legislature during the 2025 Regular Session. If no such resolution is passed, the provisions of the bill will be rendered void.

The bill also specifies that it will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without signature. This aligns with the requirements set forth in the Louisiana Constitution. The proposed law emphasizes the necessity for joint resolutions to clearly indicate the April 18, 2026, election as the date for submitting any proposed amendments to the electorate.
