Summary of Senate Bill 89 (2026, Louisiana)

Purpose

SB 89 amends state law to require the St. Charles Parish assessor to provide property owners with a form for permanent registration of the homestead exemption. The bill adds St. Charles Parish to the list of parishes where permanent registration forms must be provided.

Key Provisions

  • Amends R.S. 47:1703.1(A) to add St. Charles Parish to the parishes designated as requiring a permanent registration form for the homestead exemption.
  • The form is intended to facilitate permanent registration for the homestead exemption provided under R.S. 47:1703.

Affected Parties

  • Property owners in St. Charles Parish who are eligible for the homestead exemption.
  • The St. Charles Parish assessor’s office, which would be responsible for distributing the permanent registration form to property owners.

Effective Date

  • Effective upon signature by the governor, or if not signed, upon expiration of the time for gubernatorial action, as provided by the Louisiana Constitution. If vetoed and subsequently approved by the legislature, the act becomes effective the day after approval.

Additional Context

  • The bill references existing practice in other parishes where assessors must provide a permanent registration form for the homestead exemption.
  • The amendment is narrow in scope, extending only to St. Charles Parish and does not alter other homestead exemption provisions.

Summary Table (quick reference)

  • Purpose: Require St. Charles Parish to provide permanent homestead exemption registration form.
  • Key provision: Add St. Charles Parish to R.S. 47:1703.1(A) list.
  • Who’s affected: St. Charles Parish property owners; St. Charles Parish assessor’s office.
  • Effective date: Upon governor’s signature or constitutional action; otherwise as provided by law; potential post-approval effective date if veto overridden.
  • Status: Passed the Senate with favorable report; referred to Legislative Bureau; House action pending or completed per legislative history.
