The bill, HB 575, focuses on the membership structure of the Orleans Parish Communications District, which oversees 911 emergency services in the area. The proposed amendments significantly alter the composition of the board of commissioners. Notably, it removes the director of the Office of Civil Defense for the City of New Orleans, the assistant secretary of the Office of Charity Hospital in New Orleans, and two at-large members appointed by the mayor. In their place, the bill adds two members from the Louisiana House of Representatives and one from the Louisiana Senate, both of whom must be part of the Orleans Delegation. Additionally, it includes the director of the New Orleans Emergency Medical Services Department, the director of the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness for the city, the chief executive officer of University Medical Center of New Orleans, and a representative from the Orleans Parish Medical Society.

The bill also removes the requirement for city council confirmation of the executive director of the communications district. Other changes include replacing the Troop B commander of the Louisiana State Police with the superintendent of state police on the board. The amendments aim to enhance the representation and functionality of the board while ensuring that appointees are not city employees or contractors, thereby promoting independence and accountability within the district's governance.
