Bill Summary
A JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing to amend Article III, Section 13(A) of the Constitution of Louisiana, to provide relative to notice of intent to introduce a bill to enact a local or special law; to provide for the contents of the notice; to provide for disclosure of the name of a legislator who intends to introduce a bill to enact a local or special law under certain circumstances; to provide for disclosure of the name of the person who caused a notice to be published if a legislator is not responsible for the notice; to provide for submission of the proposed amendment to the electors; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change the requirements for public notice when a local or special law is being introduced in Louisiana. Currently, notice of intent to introduce such a bill must be published twice in the local official journal at least 30 days before introduction. This amendment would add that the notice must also include the name of the legislator intending to introduce the bill if it affects an area outside of that legislator's district, or the name of the individual who paid for the notice if it wasn't a legislator. A "local or special law" refers to legislation that applies to a specific locality or group of people, rather than the entire state. The purpose of these changes is to increase transparency by making it clearer who is behind the proposed legislation and who is sponsoring it.
