Louisiana Amendment 3 was a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that appeared on the ballot on March 29, 2025. If passed, the amendment would have allowed the state legislature to determine in state law which specific felony crimes can result in a juvenile being tried as an adult. The referendum failed, with over two-thirds of voters rejecting the proposed amendment.
