LIBRARIES: Provides relative to administration of funds of the Catahoula Parish Library
This bill transfers the responsibility for managing and accounting for the Catahoula Parish Library's funds from the parish police jury to the library's own board of control. By updating state law, the legislation gives the library board direct authority over financial administration rather than relying on the broader parish government. The change aims to streamline operations by placing financial oversight directly under the leadership of the library's governing body.
