LEGISLATION/INSTRUMENTS: (Constitutional Amendment) Requires the notice for a local or special bill to contain the name of the person responsible for causing the notice to be published and the name of a member intending to introduce the bill in certain circumstances (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

This constitutional amendment requires that notices announcing intent to introduce local or special bills must include two specific disclosures: (1) the name of a legislator planning to introduce the bill if it affects areas outside their district, and (2) the name of the person who arranged the notice publication if a legislator didn't do so. It directly affects legislators, local petitioners, and government entities involved in proposing local or special laws. The change applies to all such bills requiring public notice under Louisiana law, mandating these disclosures in the published notice itself. The amendment must be approved by voters in the 2026 election.
