AI Summary

This bill establishes term limits for members of the Sabine Parish Police Jury, specifically prohibiting any person who has been elected to serve more than two and one-half terms from serving additional terms in the future. The term limit provision will be subject to voter approval through a special election scheduled for November 3, 2026. A police jury is a local governing body in Louisiana that functions similarly to a county commission, responsible for various administrative and local governance tasks. The bill represents a local government reform effort aimed at promoting leadership rotation and preventing long-term entrenchment of elected officials in the Sabine Parish Police Jury. By requiring voter validation of the term limit rule, the legislation ensures direct democratic input on the proposed change to the local government's structure.
