LA HB752

Amends Louisiana Constitution to establish a single annual legislative session beginning the second Monday in February and ending no later than 6:00 PM on May 31st, replacing the current system of separate even-year (March, 60 legislative days) and odd-year (April, 45 legislative days) sessions

Removes constitutional subject matter restrictions that currently prohibit tax legislation in even-numbered years and limit odd-year sessions primarily to fiscal matters (appropriations, taxes, fees, bonds)

Eliminates constitutional deadlines for bill prefiling, introduction, and final passage that currently vary by session type

Allows the legislature to change session timing through joint rule adopted by two-thirds vote of elected members of each house, following standard legislative procedures except for gubernatorial veto

Retains existing provisions allowing session extensions of up to 6 calendar days (in 2-day increments) by two-thirds vote solely to pass appropriations bills, and limits organizational sessions to 3 days
