HB 660 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

FLOODING/CONTROL: Names the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier after President George W. Bush

This bill officially designates the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier as the President George W. Bush Lake Borgne Surge Barrier. It achieves this by amending state law to permanently rename the critical flood protection infrastructure in New Orleans. The legislation does not alter the barrier's operation or funding but serves solely as a commemorative act to honor the former president.
