LOCAL AGENCIES: Provides for residency requirements relative to the Ernest N. Morial-New Orleans Exhibition Authority. (gov sig)
This bill modifies the residency rules for the Ernest N. Morial-New Orleans Exhibition Authority's board of directors. While most board members must live in Orleans Parish, the legislation creates an exception allowing two members to reside elsewhere or have their main business outside the parish. The change aims to provide flexibility in selecting board members without altering the core requirement that the authority serve Orleans Parish.
