This bill amends the Louisiana Revised Statutes to change the name of the Delta Agriculture Research and Sustainability District to the Delta Economic Research and Sustainability District. It establishes Concordia Parish as the domicile of the district and outlines new residency requirements for staff positions, stating that staff hired after July 1, 2024, must be residents of the state. Additionally, the bill specifies that certain university presidents and the chair of the Louisiana Public Transit Association will serve as ex officio members of the board without voting rights.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the management structure of the district by allowing the board to hire staff to manage day-to-day operations instead of a single district director. The board will define the roles and responsibilities of these staff members, who will report directly to the board's chairman. The previous requirement for the district director to be a resident of the district for two years prior to employment has been removed, and the new provisions will not apply to staff employed before the specified date.
