HB 218 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

DISTRICTS/FIRE PROTECT: Authorizes Caddo Parish Fire District No. Four to levy a sales and use tax

This bill allows the governing authority of Caddo Parish Fire District No. 4 to hold a special election in 2025 to approve a new sales and use tax. The legislation specifically adjusts the timing rules for this election, permitting it to be scheduled on the same day as other local elections rather than on a separate date. By aligning the election date with existing voting cycles, the measure aims to streamline the process for residents in the fire district to vote on the tax levy.
