This bill amends and reenacts various sections of existing laws related to the New Orleans City Park Police and the governance of the New Orleans City Park Improvement Association. It establishes the authority, duties, commissioning, and training requirements for City Park police officers, who will be responsible for maintaining order within the park. The bill stipulates that these officers must be approved by the board of commissioners and can carry concealed weapons, have arrest powers within the park's jurisdiction, and must execute a bond for the faithful performance of their duties. Additionally, it outlines the process for transferring arrested individuals to the Orleans Parish Sheriff and specifies that fines collected will be used for park development and maintenance.

The bill also modifies the composition of the board of commissioners of the New Orleans City Park Improvement Association by adding members from the state legislature, including the president of the Senate, the speaker of the House, and the local senator and representative. It grants the board the authority to contract with nonprofit entities for the park's management and requires board approval for contracts exceeding $250,000. Furthermore, it mandates that any contractor's chief executive officer must be approved by the board, and it emphasizes that all contracts must align with the park's master plan. The bill ensures that the rights and powers of the New Orleans City Park Improvement Association remain intact while expanding its operational capabilities.
