House Bill No. by Representative Bayham proposes a constitutional amendment to Article III, Section 13(A) of the Louisiana Constitution, which pertains to the notice requirements for local or special laws. The amendment mandates that if a bill affects an area outside the district of a legislator intending to introduce it, the notice must include the name of at least one member of the legislature who plans to introduce the bill. Additionally, if the notice is published by someone other than a legislator, it must also disclose the name of that individual.
The proposed amendment aims to enhance transparency in the legislative process by ensuring that the public is informed about who is responsible for introducing local or special laws. The amendment will be submitted to voters for approval during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026.
