Summary

The bill creates a state law that will put a question on the November 3, 2026 ballot in St. Helena Parish asking voters whether members of the parish governing authority should be limited to three consecutive four‑year terms. If a majority votes yes, any official who has served more than two‑and‑a‑half terms after Jan 10 2028 cannot run for the next term; a no vote leaves term limits unchanged. The state will cover the cost of the election.
