9 Constitutional Amendments on November Ballot

BATON ROUGE — Voters will face a list of questions in the fall election, constitutional changes proposed by lawmakers for them to consider, including provisions about gun rights and pension revocation.

Nine proposals to amend the Louisiana Constitution will be on the Nov. 6 ballot after the action of the legislative session.

In the most attention-grabbing item, voters will decide whether to toughen the state's constitutional protections for weapon owners and whether to remove a provision that gives the Legislature explicit authority to limit concealed handguns.

Also on the ballot is a decision about whether a judge should be able to strip a public official's retirement benefits if that official was convicted of a felony related to his office.

Other proposals involve property tax breaks for homeowners and businesses.
