House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to abolish the Board of Regents in Louisiana, which currently oversees public postsecondary education, including planning, coordination, and budgetary responsibilities. The amendment will require the legislature to provide by law for the transfer or repeal of the board's powers, duties, functions, and responsibilities. The proposed changes will also redirect the allocation of funds from the Louisiana Education Quality Trust Fund, which is currently managed by the Board of Regents, to the four public postsecondary education management boards: the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, Louisiana State University System, Southern University System, and University of Louisiana System.

In addition to abolishing the Board of Regents, the amendment will remove its authority over the supervision, operation, and management of public hospitals and programs. The proposed changes will take effect on January 1, 2028, with provisions related to the transfer of the board's functions becoming effective a year earlier, on January 1, 2027. The amendment will be submitted to voters for approval during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026.
