Act 221 (2025 Regular Session) - Proposing to amend Article VII, Sections 10.15(F)(1) and 18(A) and (B) and to add Article VII, Sections 20.1, 20.2, and 21(P) of the Constitution of Louisiana, relative to ad valorem taxes; to authorize certain payments to certain parishes; to provide for the classification of certain property; to authorize the exemption of certain property under certain circumstances; to provide for effectiveness; to provide for submission of the proposed amendment to the electors; and to provide for related matters.
EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION Impacts of the bill are delineated in the enabling legislation HB 365 of 2025 Regular Session, particularly the payments authorized by this amendment. The Department of State may incur minimal ballot processing costs associated with this measure. As a regular practice, the Department of State typically budgets for up to 10 constitutional amendments and statewide propositions for the fall statewide elections. To the extent the ballot includes more than 10 constitutional amendments and statewide propositions, the Department of State may require additional SGF resources for the November 3, 2026, statewide election. Any expenditure impact would be realized in FY 27. REVENUE EXPLANATION The bill funds the payments authorized in HB 365 of 2025 Regular Session from the Revenue Stabilization Trust Fund. To the extent local governments opt to lower the percentage of fair market value of inventory that is taxed, local revenue will decline. Without a known pattern of adoption, the fiscal impacts of the bill are unknown. Additional impacts of the bill are delineated in the enabling legislation HB 365 of 2025 Regular Session. Senate x
