Legislative Authority to Add or Remove Unclassified Civil Service Positions Amendment |
Louisiana Amendment 5, also known as the Legislative Authority to Add or Remove Unclassified Civil Service Positions Amendment, is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that will appear on the ballot in the U.S. state of Louisiana on May 16, 2026.
In Louisiana, a state civil service commission determines if positions are part of a classified civil service, or an unclassified civil service. As part of a classified civil service, the individuals are subject to certain rules imposed by the Civil Service Rules.[1] This amendment was introduced by state senator Jay Morris, and would give the state legislature authorization to add officers, positions, and employees to the unclassified civil service.[2]
