The bill, enacted as Act No. 316, introduces a new provision, R.S. 33:4712.26, which specifically allows the governing authority of the city of Lafayette to name City Park in honor of a deceased individual, Ernest Nabers Jr. This legislation overrides any conflicting laws, including R.S. 42:267, thereby granting the city the authority to proceed with this naming.

The act emphasizes the importance of honoring local figures and provides a formal mechanism for the city to recognize the contributions of Ernest Nabers Jr. through the naming of a public space. This initiative reflects the city's commitment to preserving the legacy of its residents and enhancing community identity.
