HB 86 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

DISTRICTS/RECREATION: Provides relative to membership of the Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge

HB 86 amends a technical wording in the membership rules for East Baton Rouge Parish's Recreation and Park Commission. It changes the phrase "decennial federal" to "federal decennial" in reference to census data used for commission appointments. The bill does not alter policy or affect specific residents; it only corrects the statutory language governing how commission members are selected. This is a procedural adjustment to ensure clarity in the existing law.
