The bill, introduced by Senator Hensgens, enacts new provisions under R.S. 40:539(C)(8)(q) and (r) specifically for the Delcambre Housing Authority and the Gueydan Housing Authority in Vermilion Parish. It establishes that these authorities will not be considered instrumentalities of the state for the purposes of Article X, Section 1(A) of the Louisiana Constitution. Consequently, employees of both housing authorities will not be included in the state civil service.
This legislation aims to clarify the employment status of individuals working for the Delcambre and Gueydan Housing Authorities, ensuring that they are not subject to state civil service regulations. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
