COURTS: Constitutional amendment to authorize the legislature, by law, to establish additional courts enacted by a two-thirds vote. (2/3 - CA12s1(A)) (EG1 SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the Louisiana Legislature to create new courts if both the Senate and House vote in favor by a two-thirds majority. Currently, the state constitution limits the types of courts that can exist, but this change would give the legislature the authority to establish additional judicial bodies without needing another constitutional amendment for each one. The measure is scheduled for a public vote on November 5, 2024, where voters will decide whether to approve the expanded power for the legislature to set up new courts.
