Box 94005 BATON ROUGE, LA 70804-9005 January 6, 2025 OPINION 24-0170 The Honorable Nancy Landry Secretary of State State of Louisiana P.O. Box 94125 Baton Rouge, LA 70804 23 ELECTIONS Louisiana Revised Statute 18:1300.2(A)(2) After a few corrections the Recall Packet and Recall Petitions are both compliant with Louisiana law and approved for printing and distribution. Dear Secretary Landry: We received your request for expedited review and approval from our office of the Recall Packet and Recall Petitions following the changes required by Act 550 of the 2024 Regular Legislative Session. The Attorney General's approval of these forms is required by La. R. S. 18:1300.2(A)(2). We have reviewed the documents and find that the following edits are necessary: (1) The Excerpts from Louisiana Election Code section of the Recall Packet needs to be updated to reflect the most recent legislative material. Specifically, the title page of this section needs to be replaced with the most recent legislative material. Currently, the excerpts of the election code in the Recall Packet have not been updated through the 2024 regular session, as the title page and the footers indicate that statutes in the excerpts are only current through December 2023. (2) We further note that La. R.S. 18:1300.2(A)(2),(C)(1) and (2), and (D), 1300.3(A) and (B), and 1300.5(B) provided in the excerpts section have not been updated in accordance with Act 550. It is the opinion of this office that after these corrections are made, the Recall Packet and Recall Petitions are compliant with Louisiana law.
