House Bill No. 69, introduced by Representative Jordan, seeks to amend the boundaries of the Delmont Neighborhood Crime Prevention District in East Baton Rouge Parish. The bill specifically modifies R.S. 33:9097.40(B) by deleting the previous description of the district's boundaries, which were defined as being coterminous with the Delmont Neighborhood Subdivision. Instead, the new boundaries will encompass a defined perimeter starting at the intersection of Sherwood Street and North Foster Drive and outlining a specific route through various streets and highways before returning to the starting point.

The proposed law retains the existing governance structure of the district, which is overseen by a seven-member board of commissioners, and maintains its purpose of aiding in crime prevention and increasing law enforcement presence in the area. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature.
