House Bill No. 752 proposes a constitutional amendment to modify the timing and structure of regular legislative sessions in Louisiana. The bill seeks to amend Article III, Section 2(A) of the Louisiana Constitution to establish that regular sessions will begin on the second Monday in January and adjourn no later than May 1st, unless otherwise determined by a joint rule adopted by a two-thirds vote of the elected members of each house. Additionally, the bill repeals Article III, Section 2(D), which includes provisions for organizational sessions and various deadlines and restrictions related to the introduction and passage of legislative instruments.

The proposed amendment aims to remove existing limitations on the subject matter and deadlines for prefiling and introducing bills, thereby granting the legislature greater flexibility in managing its sessions. It also allows for the extension of regular sessions under specific circumstances, such as the need to finalize a bill appropriating money, while ensuring that no new matters can be considered during such extensions. The amendment will be submitted to voters for approval in a statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026.
