HR 9 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

PARISHES: Requests the governing authority of Concordia Parish to do a feasibility study regarding the establishment of a new form of parish government

This resolution urges the governing authority of Concordia Parish to conduct a feasibility study on changing its current police jury government to a new system that includes a parish president. The bill does not immediately alter the parish's structure but instead asks officials to investigate whether such a change would improve efficiency and representation. It is based on existing state laws that allow parishes to adopt new forms of government if a majority of voters approve the idea. The measure is a non-binding request rather than a law that forces any specific action on the parish government.
