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 system. This change is significant as it clarifies the employment status of the authority's employees, distinguishing them from those who are part of the state civil service.

The new legal language inserted into the law explicitly states that the White Castle Housing Authority and its employees are exempt from certain state civil service provisions, thereby altering their employment framework. This bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature, ensuring that the changes are implemented promptly.
