House Bill No. [insert number] proposes an amendment to the definition of "party primary office" as outlined in R.S. 18:2(9). The bill specifically removes the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) from this definition, which currently includes the offices of senator or representative in the United States Congress, justice of the supreme court, BESE, and the Public Service Commission.

The proposed law retains all other aspects of the existing definition while eliminating BESE from the list of offices subject to party primary elections. This change aims to clarify the offices that are considered party primary offices under Louisiana law.
