DISTRICTS/CRIME PREVENT: Provides relative to the Faubourg Marigny Security and Improvement District in Orleans Parish

HB 483 would create a special tax district in New Orleans' Faubourg Marigny neighborhood to fund local security and improvement efforts. It authorizes a 2% sales tax on goods and services, plus a 2% tax on hotel stays, within the district boundaries. Both taxes require voter approval via a special election before implementation, as mandated by the Louisiana Election Code. The revenue would support neighborhood security initiatives and infrastructure improvements, collected by the city government following standard tax procedures. The bill is pending legislative action and would take effect July 1, 2026, if enacted.
