MINOR
The bill removed a specific election date (November 3, 2026) for determining term limits for police jurors in Sabine Parish, replacing it with a general reference to an election held 'for that purpose.' This change makes the bill more flexible by allowing the legislature to set the election date later or adjust it without amending the bill itself. It also removed a summary section that previously explained the rationale for fixing the date.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding the timing of the term limit decision was broadened from a fixed date to an unspecified future election.
