This bill amends the existing law regarding the Upper Audubon Security District in Orleans Parish, specifically focusing on the parcel fee imposed within the district. The maximum fee that can be charged per parcel has been increased from seven hundred dollars to twelve hundred dollars per year. Additionally, it establishes that owners who qualify for the Louisiana Special Assessment Level prior to January 1, 2026, will only be charged fifty percent of the parcel fee applicable to other owners, provided they submit the necessary documentation by January 15, 2026.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the expiration terms of the parcel fee, stating that it will expire as outlined in the proposition authorizing the fee, with a maximum duration of seven years. It also repeals Section 3 of Act No. 307 from the 2021 Regular Session, which may have contained previous provisions regarding the parcel fee. The implementation of these changes is contingent upon voter approval in a future election, and the bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
