Adoption of local ordinance

HSC has adopted its own local ordinance prepared for voter approval, under Louisiana Constitution Article VI, §5 & §16, which govern local government entities created by home rule or special district petition and election.

Legal Basis for Local Agency by Petition and Election

Under the Louisiana Constitution of 1974, Article VI, the creation of a new local public agency, district, or service authority by local ordinance and public vote follows the same framework as a home rule charter or special district proposal.

  • §5(B) says a proposal may be submitted by:

“(1) A resolution or ordinance of the governing authority, or
(2) A petition signed by not less than ten percent (10%) of the electors or ten thousand electors, whichever is fewer, of the local governmental subdivision.”

  • §16 requires that any new local public agency or special district be approved by a majority of electors voting in an election held for that purpose.

So, for your ordinance to go to a vote:

  1. The governing authority (e.g., parish police jury or city council) may directly call the election, or
  2. You can submit a petition to the registrar of voters that has:
    • At least 10% of registered voters, or
    • 10,000 voters, whichever is less,
      within the jurisdiction (parish or municipality) where the agency will first be established.

2. Petition Format & Signature Verification

When submitting that petition to the registrar of voters, R.S. 18:3 applies strictly. Each signer must provide:

  • Handwritten (wet-ink) signature
  • Date of signing
  • Year of birth
  • Registration address
  • Printed name
  • Witness signature and date

The registrar will:

  • Verify each signature against voter registration records
  • Certify the number of valid electors who signed
  • Return a certification report to the local governing authority or the secretary of state.

Digital or stylus-written electronic signatures will not count under Louisiana law for election petitions.

3. Signature Threshold Example (North Louisiana Start)

Let’s say you begin in Caddo Parish or Ouachita Parish:

ParishRegistered Voters (approx.)10% Threshold10,000 Cap
Caddo~170,00017,00010,000 → use 10,000
Ouachita~105,00010,50010,000 → use 10,000
Lincoln~30,0003,00010,000 → use 3,000

So, in most North Louisiana parishes, you’ll need 10% of registered voters (unless that exceeds 10,000, in which case 10,000 is sufficient).

4. Election Procedure

Once the petition is certified:

  1. The parish governing authority must call an election (with approval from the State Bond Commission if funding is included).
  2. The election must follow the state’s Election Code (Title 18) timelines — usually at least 90 days’ notice before the election date.
  3. Approval requires a majority vote of those voting on the measure.

5. Statewide Expansion

Once approved locally, your Community Investment Service Agency ordinance can:

  • Serve as a model ordinance for adoption by other parishes under the same framework (Art. VI §5 & §16).
  • Coordinate under intergovernmental agreements (R.S. 33:1321 et seq.) to form a multi-parish authority once multiple jurisdictions have approved the same or compatible ordinances.
