SB 436 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

VOTERS/VOTING: Provides relative to voter registration. (1/1/25)

This bill amends the effective date for a voter registration law, specifying that it will take effect on January 1, 2025. It includes a provision stating that if the governor vetoes the legislation, the law will only become active after the legislature overrides the veto or on the original January 1 date, whichever occurs later. The text does not describe any new voter registration rules or changes to the voting process itself. Instead, it focuses solely on the timeline for when the existing regulations will begin to apply.
