Bill Summary
A JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing to amend Article IV, Section 3(B) of the Constitution of Louisiana, to provide for the term limit for the office of the governor; to provide for a lifetime term limit; to provide that the limit is not limited to service in successive terms; 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 term limits for the Governor of Louisiana, making it a lifetime limit rather than one restricted to consecutive terms. Currently, the law prevents someone from being elected governor for a succeeding term if they have already served more than one and a half terms in two consecutive terms. This bill would remove the restriction about consecutive terms and establish a lifetime limit, meaning a person could not serve as governor for more than one and a half terms in their lifetime, regardless of whether those terms were consecutive or not. The proposed amendment will be submitted to Louisiana voters for approval on November 3, 2026.
