This bill amends R.S. 38:2322(A) concerning the board of commissioners for the Sabine River Authority. It specifies that the board will consist of thirteen members appointed by the governor, with a requirement that two of these members must be residents of Calcasieu Parish. The bill removes the phrase "thereof" and "hereby provided for" from the existing law and adds a new provision that gives preference to a domiciled resident of the Sabine River Watershed area for one of the two members from Calcasieu Parish.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that each board member appointed by the governor will serve at the governor's pleasure and that all appointments must be confirmed by the Senate. The changes aim to ensure that board members have a relevant connection to the Sabine River Watershed, thereby enhancing local representation and governance.
