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 include significant changes to the board of commissioners, such as the removal of 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, the bill introduces new members, including two representatives from the Louisiana House and one from the Louisiana Senate, all of whom must be part of the Orleans Delegation. Additionally, the director of the New Orleans Emergency Medical Services Department and other key officials are added to the board.

The bill also eliminates 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 and ensuring that new appointees to the board are not employees or contractors of the city or the Orleans Parish Communication District. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance the governance and operational efficiency of the Orleans Parish Communications District.
