Louisiana Amendment 1, also known as the Legislative Authority to Add or Remove Unclassified Civil Service Positions Amendment, was a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that appeared on the ballot in the U.S. state of Louisiana on May 16, 2026. The amendment failed.
Background and impact 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. This amendment was introduced by state senator Jay Morris, and would have given the state legislature authorization to add officers, positions, and employees to the unclassified civil service.
