SB 204 Louisiana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

SPECIAL DISTRICTS: Provides for the board of commissioners of the Algiers Development District. (8/1/25)

SB 204 amends Louisiana law to change the composition of the Algiers Development District's governing board. It requires the board to include two state senators representing Orleans Parish's 15th ward (or their designees) and the U.S. Representative for Louisiana's 2nd Congressional District (or their designee). These specific members must serve on the board, which is otherwise composed of seven members. The bill does not alter the district's powers, tax authority, or operations - only the board's membership structure.
