What happened
The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana provided a non-partisan review of Constitutional Amendment 6. The amendment proposes that voters could grant extra property tax relief for seniors over 65 in Louisiana if approved on the November 3 ballot. If passed, parishes and municipalities would have the option to extend additional homestead exemptions to seniors aged 60 to 69, starting at an additional $6,000 of assessed value being tax-exempt.
