House Bill No. by Representative Amedee seeks to amend the governance structure of the Houma-Terrebonne Housing Authority by allowing the parish president to remove commissioners without cause, specifically excluding tenant commissioners. The bill enacts new provisions under R.S. 40:537(A)(7) and (B)(3), which stipulate that the parish president can remove a commissioner and must provide a notice of removal to the affected commissioner and the board of commissioners. The removal will take effect upon receipt of the notice or ten days after the notice is sent, whichever is later.

This legislation modifies existing law, which previously allowed for the removal of commissioners only for specific reasons such as neglect of duty or misconduct. The new provisions streamline the removal process by eliminating the need for cause, thereby granting the parish president greater authority over the housing authority's governance. The bill aims to enhance the efficiency and accountability of the Houma-Terrebonne Housing Authority's leadership.
