HB 323 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

PARISH/GOVERN AUTHORITY: Provides relative to a travel allowance for members of the governing authority of East Baton Rouge Parish

HB 323 is a procedural bill that amends the text of a previous measure regarding travel allowances for members of the East Baton Rouge Parish governing authority. The legislation removes specific language about the maximum dollar amount of the allowance and deletes the phrase "hundred dollars per month for each member." By deleting these details, the bill effectively strips out the financial limits and distribution rules for the travel fund without establishing new ones. This action leaves the provision incomplete, as it eliminates the core definition of the allowance without providing a replacement.
