The bill amends and reenacts R.S. 33:4690.13(C)(1) concerning the Ascension Parish Road Infrastructure Development Districts, enhancing the powers of these districts. Specifically, it allows the districts to finance, fund, plan, establish, acquire, construct, reconstruct, enlarge, extend, equip, operate, and maintain various systems and facilities related to road infrastructure. Notably, the language has been updated to include "and other drainage facilities" in the list of structures that the districts may work on, replacing the previous mention of "or" culverts.

Additionally, the bill repeals R.S. 33:4690.13(H), which likely contained provisions that are no longer deemed necessary or relevant. The changes aim to streamline the operations of the districts and clarify their responsibilities regarding road and drainage infrastructure. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
