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 must consist of at least three and no more than seven members, who may or may not reside within the district. Additionally, the terms of these commissioners will not exceed six years, as determined by the ordinance that establishes the board. This change aims to provide more flexibility in the governance structure of economic development districts in the area.
