House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to add Article I, Section 28 to the Constitution of Louisiana, which establishes parental rights as fundamental. The amendment asserts that the freedom of a parent in the nurturing, education, care, custody, and control of their child is a fundamental right that cannot be infringed upon. Any restrictions on this right would be subject to strict scrutiny, unless a higher level of protection or scrutiny is recognized by the court.

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 that affirms parents' fundamental rights regarding their children's upbringing.
