This bill amends R.S. 33:4569.1(B)(2) to modify the employment status of the Iberville Parish Parks and Recreation District employees. It allows the board to appoint a full-time director of parks and recreation, along with an assistant director and additional staff, while also establishing that these employees will become employees of the parish of Iberville upon the adoption of an ordinance by the parish's governing authority. The ordinance will ensure that these employees are subject to the same administrative rules and regulations as other parish employees and will be eligible for the same compensation and benefits.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the transition to parish employment will not result in a reduction of compensation or benefits for any employee who was previously employed by the district. It also permits any parish employee to provide services to the district through an intergovernmental agreement between the parish and the district. This legislative change aims to streamline the management of parks and recreation services in Iberville Parish while ensuring fair treatment of employees during the transition.
