House Bill No. proposes a constitutional amendment to Article III, Section 2(A) and (D) of the Louisiana Constitution, which aims to modify the timing and structure of regular legislative sessions. The amendment stipulates that regular sessions will commence annually on the second Monday in February and conclude no later than May 31st, unless altered by a joint rule adopted by a two-thirds vote of the legislature. It removes existing deadlines and restrictions related to the introduction and passage of legislative instruments, allowing for greater flexibility in legislative processes. Additionally, the bill retains provisions for extending regular sessions under specific circumstances, particularly for the passage of appropriations.

The proposed amendment also modifies the organizational session's duration, maintaining a limit of three days. It eliminates the previous restrictions on subject matter during even-numbered year sessions, which prohibited the introduction of new taxes or tax-related legislation. The amendment will be presented to voters for approval in a statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026.
