The bill enacts a new provision, R.S. 33:4712.26, specifically for St. Martin Parish Hospital District No. 2, allowing the governing authority of the district to name a medical office building in honor of a living individual. This provision overrides any conflicting laws, such as R.S. 42:267, thereby granting the district the authority to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the community.
The specific individual designated for this honor is Burton D. Dupuis, who has served the St. Martin Parish community for over fifty years. The medical office building in question is located at 220 Champagne Boulevard. This legislation aims to recognize and celebrate the contributions of local figures while providing a formal mechanism for such honors within the hospital district.
