The bill amends R.S. 38:3301(A) to redefine the geographical boundaries of the Amite River Basin Drainage and Water Conservation District in Louisiana. It introduces new legal language that specifies the district's limits through a detailed description of directions and intersections, ensuring a precise delineation of the area. This updated language replaces previous references to parish lines and waterways with specific mentions of the thalweg of the Mississippi River and certain parish boundary lines, aiming to clarify and accurately represent the district's boundaries in line with current geographical and administrative realities.

Additionally, the bill outlines the interactions and intersections of boundary lines between various parishes, including Ascension, St. James, St. John the Baptist, and Livingston, while incorporating precise directions and coordinates. The emphasis on the thalweg of the Mississippi River as a defining feature of the parish boundaries is a significant aspect of the new legal language, which seeks to provide a clear and legally recognized framework for governance, land use, and jurisdictional matters within the state.
