The bill, HB 575, focuses on the membership structure of the Orleans Parish Communications District, which oversees 911 emergency services in the area. Key amendments include the rejection of certain Senate Floor Amendments and the introduction of new provisions that modify the composition of the board of commissioners. Notably, the bill 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 for minority representation. In their place, it 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, as well as the director of the New Orleans Emergency Medical Services Department and other key officials.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the new at-large members appointed by the president of the New Orleans City Council must not be employees or contractors of the city or the Orleans Parish Communication District. The proposed law also replaces the Troop B commander of the Louisiana State Police with the superintendent of state police on the board. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the governance of the Orleans Parish Communications District by ensuring a more representative and accountable board structure.
