This bill amends R.S. 33:1651(C) to change the title and election process for the office previously known as the parish secretary-treasurer in Acadia Parish. The bill stipulates that the governing authority will now elect a parish administrator for a term of four years, with the term beginning two years after the start of the terms for the members of the parish governing authority. The previous provision that the secretary-treasurer's term would be concurrent with the governing authority's members has been removed.

Additionally, the bill specifies that if a vacancy occurs in the parish administrator position, it will be filled by appointment for the unexpired term. The current secretary-treasurer's term will terminate two years after the effective date of the Act, at which point the newly elected parish administrator's term will commence. The governing authority is also permitted to hold an election for the parish administrator before the termination of the secretary-treasurer's term.
