SB 379 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

TRANSPORTATION/DEV DEPT: Provides relative to the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge. (8/1/24)

This bill removes specific state laws that previously governed the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge. It directly affects the bridge by repealing regulations related to highway safety corridors, traffic rules, camera safety devices, and signage penalties. The key mechanism is the complete elimination of these existing statutes, effectively clearing the legal framework that once applied to the bridge. This action simplifies the regulatory environment for the bridge without adding new requirements.
