RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 372 (HB 271) 2024 Regular Session Hughes
Existing law creates a hospital service district in Orleans Parish. Provides that the
boundaries of the district are coterminous with Orleans Parish, but provides that the district
has two areas. Provides that the two areas of the district are governed by separate governing
boards.
Prior law provided that each governing board included two members appointed by the chief
executive officer of the parish, one each from nominations submitted by the following:
(1) The member of the La. House of Representatives whose district encompasses all or
the greater portion of the area in which the district is located.
(2) The member of the La. Senate whose district encompasses all or the greater portion
of the area in which the district is located.
New law removes provisions for these two appointments and provides instead that the
following are members of each governing board:
(1) The member of the La. House of Representatives who represents House District
No. 100 or his designee.
(2) The member of the La. Senate who represents Senate District No. 3 or his designee.
Existing law provides that the remaining members of each governing board are:
(1) Five additional members appointed by the chief executive officer of the parish, four
of whom are appointed at his discretion and one of whom is appointed from three
nominees submitted by the member of the governing authority of New Orleans whose
district encompasses all or the greater portion of the area in which the district is
located.
(2) One consumer appointed by the chief executive officer of the parish.
(3) The chancellor of the La. State University-Health Sciences Center School of
Medicine or his designee.
(4) The chancellor of the Tulane University School of Medicine or his designee.
(5) The president of the New Orleans Medical Assoc. or his designee.
(6) The president of the Orleans Parish Medical Society or his designee.
