HB 84 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Repeals the Capital Area Transit System Act

HB 84 repeals the law that created the Capital Area Transit System (CATS), a state-created transit authority operating in East Baton Rouge Parish. The bill transfers all CATS assets, obligations, employees, and records to the city of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish. This change directly affects CATS as an entity, eliminating its legal structure and shifting responsibility for public transit operations to local government. The bill does not create new transit policies or alter service operations.
