This bill amends the governing structure of the parish hospital service district in Orleans Parish by modifying the composition of its board of commissioners. Specifically, it reduces the number of appointed members from seven to five, with all members to be appointed by the chief executive officer of the parish. The bill also clarifies that one of the five members will be appointed from a list of nominees submitted by the member of the Louisiana House of Representatives representing the district, and another from the member of the Louisiana Senate representing the district.

Additionally, the bill introduces two new provisions that specify the inclusion of the member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for House District No. 100 and the member of the Louisiana Senate for Senate District No. 3, or their designees, as part of the board. The changes aim to streamline the appointment process and ensure that the board includes representatives from specific legislative districts, thereby enhancing local governance and representation in the hospital service district.
