House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to Article XIII, Section 2 of the Louisiana Constitution, focusing on the process for calling and conducting constitutional conventions. The amendment stipulates that delegates to the convention will be elected from each senatorial and representative district, ensuring representation from all legislative areas. Additionally, it requires that any proposed constitution or alternative propositions must receive approval from two-thirds of the delegates before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
The bill also modifies the ratification process for a new constitution, mandating that it must be approved by a majority of voters and in no fewer than three-fourths of the parishes. This change aims to ensure broader support across the state for any new constitutional proposals. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026.
