The bill enacted as Act No. 342 establishes that the White Castle Housing Authority in Iberville Parish will not be considered an instrumentality of the state for the purposes of state civil service regulations. Specifically, it adds a new provision to R.S. 40:539, stating that employees of the White Castle Housing Authority shall not be included in the state civil service. This change is significant as it clarifies the employment status of the authority's employees, distinguishing them from those in the state civil service system.

The new legal language inserted into the law explicitly states that the White Castle Housing Authority and its employees are exempt from certain state regulations, thereby providing the authority with more autonomy in its hiring practices. This bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature. If the governor vetoes the bill and it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
