LOCAL AGENCIES: Provides for the board membership of the Louisiana Energy and Power Authority. (8/1/24)
SB 410 amends the membership rules for the Louisiana Energy and Power Authority's board by adding a provision to establish an effective date for the changes. The bill does not alter the number of directors or their specific roles but focuses solely on clarifying when the new board composition takes effect. It specifies that the law becomes active upon the governor's signature or if the governor does not act, and it also sets a start date if the governor vetoes the bill and the legislature overrides that veto. This procedural update ensures the authority's governance structure transitions smoothly without changing the core operational powers of the agency.
