House Bill No. by Representative Bayham proposes a constitutional amendment to Article III, Section 4(E) of the Louisiana Constitution, which addresses legislative term limits. The amendment stipulates that no individual who has served more than two and one-half terms in three consecutive terms as a member of either the Senate or the House of Representatives shall qualify for reelection to the same office for a period of ten years following the end of their third consecutive term. This change replaces the current provision that allows term-limited legislators to be elected for the succeeding term.

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 whether they support the amendment to prohibit term-limited state senators and representatives from qualifying for reelection to the same office for a period of ten years. This initiative aims to enhance legislative turnover and limit the duration of service for elected officials in the state.
