On June 23, the Louisiana House rejected the Senate’s extensive amendments to HB 420, so the bill now goes to a conference committee.

HB 420 was a simple bill in the House; it clarified, and slightly relaxed, the deadline for presidential electors to file their paperwork. The Senate added many amendments on unrelated election law subjects, including one that appears to be unconstitutional, relative to Congressional elections (it required candidates to certify that they have filed all their income tax returns).
