APPROVED. THE LEGISLATION CALLS FOR A SPECIAL CONVENTION OF DELEGATTES THAT WOULD REDO THE CONSTITUTION.THE PRJOPOSED
CONVENTION WOULD BEGIN ON MAY 20TH AND GIVES ONLY 2 WEEKS TO COME UP WITH A NEW DOCUMENT. IF PASSED THE NEW CONSTITUTION WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA.
