The proposed legislation establishes the University Security District in East Baton Rouge Parish, aimed at improving crime prevention and security for residents through increased law enforcement presence and funding for beautification projects. The district's boundaries are clearly defined within Baton Rouge and will be overseen by an eleven-member board of commissioners appointed by local stakeholders, including the president of Louisiana State University and representatives from local merchant associations and legislative districts. The bill also grants the district the authority to impose a parcel fee on property owners to fund its operations, with specific fee amounts set for residential and commercial properties.

The legislation outlines a fee structure where the initial parcel fee cannot exceed $150 per year and must be approved by a majority of registered voters in the district. After three years, the governing authority may increase the fee to a maximum of $250 without requiring another election. The fee will expire after up to fifteen years but can be renewed with voter approval. The collection process will mirror that of ad valorem taxes, and provisions for unpaid fees will be added to the tax rolls. The bill emphasizes that the law enforcement services funded by these fees are supplementary to existing services and includes indemnification provisions for board members and officers, ensuring accountability and protecting them from liability under certain conditions.
