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, streamlining the language regarding the board's composition.

Additionally, the bill introduces 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. This change aims to ensure that board members have a direct connection to the region they represent, thereby enhancing local governance and representation. The remaining structure of the board and the confirmation process by the Senate remains unchanged.
