(Constitutional Amendment) Provides for the election of constitutional convention delegates and vote requirements necessary for the adoption of a new constitution (RR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

This bill would attempt to amend the state constitution to change how a new constitution could be approved by voters by requiring that any proposed constitution from a constitutional convention be approved not only by a majority of voters statewide but also by voters in at least three-fourths of Louisiana's parishes. By adding this additional requirement, the proposal would make it harder to adopt a new constitution and ensure that support for such a major change is broad across the state.
