House Bill No. by Representative Bayham proposes a constitutional amendment to Article IV, Section 3(B) of the Louisiana Constitution, establishing a lifetime term limit for the office of governor. The amendment stipulates that a person who has served as governor for more than one and one-half terms shall not be eligible for election as governor again. Notably, the current law's restriction of "in two consecutive terms" has been deleted, allowing for a broader interpretation of the term limit that is not confined to consecutive service.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Louisiana for approval during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026. The ballot will include a proposition asking voters if they support the amendment to implement a lifetime limit on gubernatorial terms. This change aims to ensure that no individual can serve as governor for more than one and one-half terms throughout their lifetime, thereby promoting political diversity and preventing prolonged incumbency in the state's highest office.
