LOCAL GOVERNMENT: Provides for a local option election to establish term limits for members of the governing authority of St. Helena Parish (OR SEE FISC NOTE SG RV)
Read by title, under the rules, referred to the Committee on Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs.
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.
