DISTRICTS/CRIME PREVENT: Provides relative to the boundaries of the Melrose East Crime Prevention District in East Baton Rouge Parish

HB 788 amends the boundaries and fee limits for the Melrose East Crime Prevention District in East Baton Rouge Parish. It defines the district's boundaries as the area enclosed by Renoir Avenue, North Ardenwood Drive, North Lobdell Boulevard, and Florida Boulevard (north side), with expanded areas requiring voter approval. The bill also limits annual parcel fees for property owners to rates specified in state law and requires voter approval via election with prior notification for any boundary expansion. This directly affects property owners within the district boundaries who pay these fees.
