This bill enacts a new provision in Louisiana law regarding the civil service status of employees of the New Roads Public Housing Authority. Specifically, it states that the New Roads Public Housing Authority shall not be considered an instrumentality of the state, which means that its employees will not be included in the state civil service system. This change is intended to clarify the employment status of these workers and delineate their relationship with state civil service regulations.

The new legal language added to R.S. 40:539(C)(8) includes a specific clause that overrides any conflicting laws, ensuring that the New Roads Public Housing Authority and its employees are explicitly excluded from state civil service provisions. This legislative action reflects a decision to separate the authority's employment framework from the broader state civil service structure, potentially allowing for different hiring practices and employment conditions.
