This bill enacts R.S. 2:604.3, which authorizes the Houma-Terrebonne Airport Commission to appoint and commission peace officers. These officers will have the authority to enforce laws, rules, and regulations to protect persons, properties, and interests within the jurisdiction of the Houma-Terrebonne airport. The jurisdiction is defined as the physical boundaries of the airport and any properties owned by the commission. The bill outlines the requirements for peace officers, including being a Louisiana citizen, at least 21 years old, and P.O.S.T. certified.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the commission's peace officers will exercise regular police powers concerning criminal offenses related to their duties, while also allowing municipal, parish, or state law enforcement agencies to maintain their authority within the same jurisdiction. The peace officers are required to report suspected criminal activity to the appropriate law enforcement agency and must cooperate with them during investigations. The commission is tasked with adopting rules and regulations for the management and training of its peace officers, ensuring they receive proper law enforcement training. The bill also clarifies that it does not affect the assessment and collection of ad valorem tax revenues within the commission's jurisdiction.
