HB 192 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

DISTRICTS/SPECIAL: Provides relative to the French Quarter Management District in the city of New Orleans

HB 192 allows the French Quarter Management District to hire emergency sanitation contractors if New Orleans cannot provide services at historical levels due to staffing or vendor shortages. The district may procure these services directly, with the city of New Orleans required to reimburse the costs through a budget ordinance. This applies specifically to sanitation within the French Quarter boundaries during service disruptions. The bill ensures continuity of services while clarifying the city’s financial obligation for emergency measures.
