The bill amends R.S. 33:9038.32(D) to provide new provisions regarding the governance of economic development districts in East Baton Rouge Parish. It establishes that while the governing authority of the district is typically the local governmental subdivision that creates it, the Metropolitan Council of East Baton Rouge Parish and the city of Baton Rouge have the option to create a board of commissioners to serve as the governing authority for any district they establish.

The newly inserted language specifies that this board of commissioners can consist of three to seven members, who may or may not reside within the district, and will serve terms of up to six years as determined by ordinance. This change aims to enhance local governance and flexibility in managing economic development initiatives within the parish.
