House Bill No. by Representative Freiberg amends R.S. 33:1233(B) to increase the travel allowance for members of the East Baton Rouge Parish governing authority. The bill replaces the previous maximum travel allowance of eight hundred dollars with a new maximum of one thousand five hundred dollars per month. This allowance is intended to cover in-parish travel expenses and will be granted upon approval by a majority of the local governing body after a public hearing.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, unless it is vetoed by the governor and subsequently approved by the legislature, in which case it will become effective on the later of the two dates. This legislative change aims to provide better financial support for the governing authority members in their travel-related duties.
