This bill amends the appointment process for commissioners of the Housing Authority of New Orleans by changing the number of commissioners and the method of appointing tenant commissioners. Specifically, the bill reduces the number of commissioners from eight to six, excluding the landlord commissioner. Additionally, it stipulates that the two tenant commissioners will now be appointed by the president of the New Orleans city council from a list of names provided by the Citywide Tenants Council, Inc., rather than being chosen by the mayor.

The bill also specifies that for each vacancy to be filled by a tenant commissioner, three names must be submitted for consideration. These changes aim to streamline the appointment process and enhance the representation of tenant interests within the Housing Authority.
