Present law provides that no redistricting plan will be implemented unless it is received by
the secretary of state in a specific format required by present law for local governing bodies

defines "local governing body" to include each parish governing authority, municipal
governing authority, and school board.
Proposed law retains present law and permits the submission of technical corrections to a
timely submitted and properly formatted redistricting plan of a local governing body until
10 days prior to date the qualifying period opens.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
