ELECTIONS/DATES: Changes the election date for the spring 2026 statewide election for the submission of proposed constitutional amendments (Item #1) (EG NO IMPACT See Note)
HB 2 is a budget amendment bill that modifies funding allocations for specific infrastructure projects across Louisiana parishes, not an election date change as its title suggests. It adds or adjusts funding for projects like Iberia Parish's sewer treatment plant ($10.6M), Jefferson Parish's TPC Louisiana improvements ($600K), and the Louisiana Music and Heritage Experience ($26.5M), with most funds coming from state general funds or bond issuances. The bill contains 16 amendments to redirect or specify project funding without changing election schedules, as noted by "EG NO IMPACT" in the title. It is currently pending in the Appropriations Committee after recent committee revisions.
