DISTRICTS/FIRE PROTECT: Authorizes Caddo Parish Fire District No. Six to levy a sales and use tax
This bill allows the Caddo Parish Fire District No. 6 to vote on a new sales and use tax to fund its operations. It changes the rules for how this tax measure can be voted on, specifying that the election must happen on a date that aligns with other regular parish elections. Additionally, the bill permits the fire district's leadership to schedule this specific election only in 2025, giving them flexibility to choose a date that matches other local voting events. These changes directly affect residents of the fire district who would vote on the tax and the officials managing the district's finances.
