House Bill No. [insert number] aims to establish new administrative adjudication procedures for ordinance violations in the city of Slidell, Louisiana. The bill enacts R.S. 13:2575.2.1, which defines "housing violation" to include building codes, zoning, vegetation, and nuisance ordinances. It also allows for the administrative adjudication procedures to be applied to matters involving licensing, permits, and other ordinance violations as determined by the municipal governing authority.
Additionally, the bill outlines the judicial review process for individuals aggrieved by decisions made by the hearing officer in Slidell. It specifies that such individuals may file a petition with the district court within thirty days of the hearing officer's decision, detailing the grounds for the alleged illegality. The court may issue a writ of certiorari to review the decision, and the hearing officer is not required to return original documents but may provide certified copies. The court has the authority to reverse, affirm, or modify the decision under review, and the proceedings will take precedence over other civil actions.
