PARISHES: Provides for the administration of funds of the fire district in certain parishes. (8/1/24)
This bill updates Louisiana law to specify how fire district funds are managed in parishes with populations between 36,000 and 36,700 people. Under the new rule, the board of commissioners in these specific parishes would be responsible for administering the finances of Fire District Number Two, overriding any previous conflicting regulations. The change applies only to parishes that meet these exact population thresholds based on the most recent federal census data.
