SEWERAGE/N O WATER BD: Provides relative to residency requirements for employees of the New Orleans sewerage and water board (EN INCREASE LF EX See Note)
This bill amends the residency requirements for employees of the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board by updating the name of the appointing authority from the "city civil service commission" to the "Civil Service Commission of the City of New Orleans." The change does not alter the actual rules for who can work for the utility but corrects the official title of the commission in the state code. It directly affects the administrative processes used to hire staff for the board and is a procedural update rather than a new policy.
