House Bill No. by Representative Jordan amends the existing law regarding the Delmont Neighborhood Crime Prevention District in East Baton Rouge Parish. The bill specifically alters the boundaries of the district, which were previously defined as coterminous with the Delmont Neighborhood Subdivision. The new boundaries are detailed in the bill, starting from the intersection of Sherwood Street and North Foster Drive and outlining a perimeter that includes various streets and highways, ultimately returning to the starting point.
The bill retains the structure of the district as a political subdivision aimed at enhancing crime prevention and increasing law enforcement presence. It is governed by a seven-member board of commissioners, and while the boundaries are modified, all other provisions of the existing law remain intact. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
