This bill, introduced by Senator McMath, aims to repeal Sections 1 and 3(A) of Act No. 459 from the 2023 Regular Session, as well as Chapter 44 of Title 51 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, specifically R.S. 51:2701. The primary focus of the bill is to eliminate the Port Development Advisory Commission and the office of port development, thereby streamlining the state's approach to port development matters.

The bill stipulates that it will take effect on July 1, 2024, unless it is vetoed by the governor and subsequently approved by the legislature, in which case it will become effective on the day following such approval or on July 1, 2024, whichever is later. This legislative action reflects a significant shift in the state's governance regarding port development, removing previously established structures and oversight.
