MOTOR VEHICLES: Authorizes a local governing authority to adopt ordinances to address blighted property with purported collector's automobiles
HB 674 allows local governments to create rules for managing blighted properties that contain vehicles claimed to be collector's cars. The bill specifically excludes parishes with populations between 420,000 and 430,000 people from these new local regulations. By adding this population-based exception, the legislation ensures that municipalities in this specific size range cannot enforce ordinances related to such vehicles. This change affects only local governing authorities and the residents of parishes falling within the defined population limits.
