This bill enacts a new provision in the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board's membership by adding a new category of members. Specifically, it introduces three at-large members who shall be appointed by the governor to the board. This addition aims to enhance the board's composition and ensure broader representation in its decision-making processes. In conjunction with this new insertion, the bill also repeals several existing provisions related to board membership, specifically R.S. 49:214.5.1(B)(5) through (9) and (12), which may have previously outlined other member categories or qualifications. Additionally, the Louisiana State Law Institute is tasked with making necessary technical changes to renumber the paragraphs and correct any cross-references affected by these amendments. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
