Ballot initiative would put a waiting period on appropriation bill amendments | Louisiana
SUMMARY: A Louisiana ballot initiative on Dec. 7 aims to introduce a 48-hour waiting period for legislators to consider amendments on appropriation bills. These bills authorize government spending for services like healthcare and education. The initiative prohibits the review of conference committee reports or senate amendments until two days after the distribution of the bill and its summary. Sponsored by Rep. Tony Bacala, this amendment received unanimous support in both the House and Senate. Voters can support the waiting period with a yes vote or oppose it with a no vote. It is one of four amendments on the upcoming ballot.
