House Bill No. by Representative Beaullieu and Senator Kleinpeter proposes to change the date of a special statewide election in Louisiana, originally scheduled 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 No. 218, 219, 221, 222, and 223, changing the election date in each instance to the new date of May 16, 2026. Additionally, it repeals Act No. 212 of the 2025 Regular Session.

The proposed law aims to ensure that the constitutional amendments, which include topics such as the St. George community school system, mandatory retirement of judges, ad valorem taxes, and the application of state funds to the Teachers' Retirement System, are submitted to voters on the updated date. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the expiration of the time for bills to become law without the governor's signature.
