The bill amends and reenacts several provisions of the Louisiana Revised Statutes concerning the French Quarter Management District in Orleans Parish. Key changes include the district's expanded functions to enhance public safety, reduce homelessness, improve infrastructure, and sanitation services. The bill specifies that any additional security or services provided by the district will be supplemental to existing services from the state, city, or other political subdivisions. Furthermore, it establishes that at least fifteen percent of the district's annual budget must be allocated to public safety, homelessness reduction, and infrastructure enhancements.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that allow the district to utilize the city of New Orleans and contract with other entities for service procurement. It also permits the district to procure public works valued at $150,000 or less through informal bidding. The boundaries of the Faubourg Marigny subdistrict are updated to include specific areas along Frenchmen Street, enhancing the district's governance and operational framework. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
