Ment Text

Louisiana HB528 proposes a constitutional amendment to extend term limits for state legislators.

HB528 proposes a constitutional amendment to extend term limits for state legislators in Louisiana. Currently, a senator or representative cannot be reelected to the same office immediately after serving two and a half terms in three consecutive terms. The amendment would extend this restriction, prohibiting a term-limited legislator from qualifying for reelection for ten years following the end of their third consecutive term. The amendment will be submitted to voters in the November 3, 2026 statewide election.
