AI Summary
This bill amends and reenacts Louisiana's law on emergency election plans. It allows the Secretary of State to develop an emergency plan if the governor declares a state of emergency or disaster that impairs an election due to technical, mechanical, or logistical issues, or other factors affecting participation or integrity. The plan must be approved by the governor and a joint legislative committee before being submitted to the full legislature for approval. The bill also provides new procedures for the legislature to override the governor's disapproval of the emergency plan. Overall, the bill aims to establish a process for altering election procedures during emergencies to ensure the integrity and accessibility of elections.
