Senate Bill No. by Senator Kleinpeter and Representative Beaullieu proposes to change the date for a special statewide election in Louisiana, originally set for April 18, 2026, to May 16, 2026. This election will be held for the purpose of submitting proposed constitutional amendments to the state's electors, as outlined in various acts from the 2025 Regular Session of the Legislature. The bill amends and reenacts specific sections of Acts 218, 219, 221, 222, and 223, which detail the proposed amendments and their submission dates, replacing the previous April date with the new May date.

Additionally, the bill repeals Act No. 212 of the 2025 Regular Session, which likely contained provisions that are no longer applicable due to this change. The new law will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action has lapsed. This legislative change aims to streamline the process for voters to consider these constitutional amendments during the upcoming election.
