The bill amends and reenacts R.S. 33:4690.13(C)(1) concerning the powers of Ascension Parish Road Infrastructure Development Districts. It expands the scope of special powers granted to the districts by allowing them to finance, fund, plan, establish, acquire, construct, reconstruct, enlarge, extend, equip, operate, and maintain systems and facilities related to road infrastructure. Specifically, it adds "and other drainage facilities" to the list of structures that can be addressed, replacing the previous mention of "or" between bridges and culverts.
Additionally, the bill repeals R.S. 33:4690.13(H), which likely contained provisions that are no longer deemed necessary. The changes aim to enhance the capabilities of the districts in managing road infrastructure and drainage systems, thereby improving overall infrastructure development in Ascension Parish. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
