House Bill No. [insert number] proposes the abolition of the office of police chief and the police department in the village of Noble, Sabine Parish. The bill allows the board of aldermen, upon the mayor's recommendation, to eliminate the police chief position, with the action taking effect at the end of the current chief's term or upon a vacancy. If the office is temporarily filled, the abolition will take effect as specified by ordinance. Additionally, if the police department is dissolved, the mayor and board of aldermen are authorized to contract with other law enforcement entities within Sabine Parish for police services.

The bill includes new legal language that establishes the procedures for abolishing the police chief position and the police department, as well as the ability to enter into cooperative agreements for law enforcement services. The effective date of the bill will be upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature. If vetoed and later approved by the legislature, the bill will take effect the day after such approval.
