DISTRICTS/RECREATION: Repeals provisions relative to the Recreation and Park Commission for the parish of East Baton Rouge
HB 87 proposes to dissolve the Recreation and Park Commission for the parish of East Baton Rouge. The bill would repeal the state laws that establish the commission and define its powers and duties. If enacted, all obligations, property, records, and employees of the commission would be transferred to the city of Baton Rouge, parish of East Baton Rouge. This effectively integrates the commission's functions into the city-parish government, directly affecting the administration of recreation and park services in East Baton Rouge Parish.
