This bill amends various provisions related to the Lake Vista Crime Prevention District in Orleans Parish. Key changes include the alteration of the district's boundaries to include Allen Toussaint Boulevard instead of Robert E. Lee Boulevard, and a shift in the district's purpose from merely enhancing law enforcement presence to promoting and encouraging security within the area. The bill also expands the powers of the district's board of commissioners to acquire, purchase, or lease items deemed necessary for achieving the district's purposes.

Additionally, the bill modifies the parcel fee structure, increasing the maximum fee from $220 to $400 per parcel per year, and extends the duration of the fee's imposition from a maximum of four years to eight years. It allows for the fee to be renewed without requiring a new election, provided it is approved by a majority of voters who participate in the election. Furthermore, it clarifies that any funds collected by the district must be used solely to enhance security in the area, and outlines that if the district ceases to exist, the funds will be managed by the city of New Orleans for security purposes.
