House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the repeal of the Capital Area Transit System Act, which is outlined in Chapter 10 of Title 48 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes. This legislation aims to eliminate the provisions that established the Capital Area Transit System (CATS) as a political subdivision responsible for public transportation in East Baton Rouge Parish and any additional participating parishes. The bill mandates the transfer of all obligations, property, records, and employees associated with CATS to the city of Baton Rouge, parish of East Baton Rouge.

The proposed law effectively removes all existing legal frameworks governing the operation and management of CATS, including the board's structure, powers, and responsibilities. By repealing the relevant statutes, the bill seeks to streamline public transportation governance in the region, consolidating authority under the city of Baton Rouge. This legislative change reflects a significant shift in how public transportation services will be managed and operated in East Baton Rouge Parish.
