CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Proposes an amendment to the Louisiana Constitution to prohibit the use of funds, goods, or services donated by foreign governments, foreign entities, or noncitizens in promoting any ballot initiative, candidate, issue, political party, or proposition, either directly or indirectly. If passed by the legislature, this amendment will be presented to voters for approval in the statewide election on November 15, 2025
In 2023, Louisiana voters approved a constitutional amendment that prohibits the use of funds, goods, or services from foreign governments or nongovernmental sources for conducting elections. This strengthens provisions in that law adding "directly or indirectly" and covers ballot initiatives, candidates, issues, political parties or propositions. HB590 by Rep. Spell includes these and goes further adding criminal penalties.

SENATE committee amendments [LINK] expand the bill to cover all juvenile criminal cases and give district attorneys broad discretion to transfer cases to district, parish, or city courts depending on the juvenile’s age and offense.

The amendments also change court jurisdiction from exclusive to concurrent and clarify procedures for transferring serious felony cases involving juveniles 15 or older to adult court. Technical edits streamline language throughout the bill.
