The bill, introduced by Senator Connick, authorizes the lease of certain state properties located along Interstate Highway 10 and United States Highway 90 Business in Jefferson Parish. The Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development is empowered to assign, lease, or deliver any interest in these properties, excluding mineral rights, to the governing authority of Jefferson Parish. The bill outlines that the agreements made will include terms for the construction and maintenance of improvements by the parish, as well as the removal of obstacles or hazards, while ensuring that Jefferson Parish is not burdened with additional obligations for maintaining state-owned facilities.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it will not affect existing appropriations from the Regional Maintenance and Improvement Fund to Jefferson Parish. The effective date of the bill is contingent upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, upon the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature. If the bill is vetoed and later approved by the legislature, it will take effect the day after such approval.
