HB 122 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

DISTRICTS/NEIGHBORHOOD: Provides relative to the Spring Lake Subdivision Improvement District in Orleans Parish

HB 122 amends Louisiana law to adjust the financing structure for the Spring Lake Subdivision Improvement District in New Orleans. It increases the maximum annual fee property owners within the district must pay from $200 to $325, and allows the tax/fee to be renewed for up to eight years after voter approval. The bill requires any new or renewed fee to be approved by a majority of registered voters in a regular election, with funds collected solely for district improvements. All revenue must be managed in a separate account, reconciled quarterly, and used exclusively for district benefits. This bill directly affects property owners in the Spring Lake Subdivision.

HB122 Original → HB122 Act · 5 edits

MODERATE

The bill was converted from a draft proposal to an enacted law, changing its status from a suggestion to a binding legal requirement. The core policy regarding the Spring Lake Subdivision Improvement District remains largely the same, but the text was reorganized for clarity and corrected to fix a grammatical error in the description of the district. The enacted version also includes standard legal signatures and effective dates that were absent in the original draft.

Scope change

The scope of applicability remains the Spring Lake Subdivision Improvement District in Orleans Parish, but the legal status changed from a proposed district to an officially enacted act.

TECHNICAL

The document status changed from 'ORIGINAL' draft to 'ENROLLED' Act No. 193, making it official law.

The header identifying the bill was updated to reflect the enacted status with signatures from the Governor, Senate President, and House Speaker.

A grammatical error in the district name was corrected from 'Spring Lake Subdivision Improvement District district' to 'Spring Lake Subdivision Improvement District'.

The page count was updated from 4 pages to 3 pages, likely due to the removal of the 'Digest' section which is not part of the official law.

REQUIREMENT

The effective date clause was retained and standardized to specify when the law becomes active upon signature or veto override.
