Senate Bill No. 274, introduced by Senator Reese, aims to establish specific guidelines for the administration of funds within fire districts in certain parishes of Louisiana. The bill enacts R.S. 40:1511, which stipulates that in parishes with a population between 36,000 and 36,700, the funds of fire district number two will be managed by the district's board of commissioners. This provision is designed to ensure that the financial resources of the fire district are overseen by a designated governing body, thereby enhancing accountability and efficiency in fund management.

The bill is set to take effect on August 1, 2024, and does not include any deletions from current law. The introduction of this legislation reflects a targeted approach to fire district governance, focusing on specific population criteria to determine the administrative structure of fire district funds in Louisiana.
