House Bill No. by Representative McMakin seeks to repeal the existing provisions related to the Recreation and Park Commission for the parish of East Baton Rouge, specifically R.S. 33:4570 through 4570.4. The bill eliminates the legal framework that establishes the commission, including its creation, powers, and duties. This includes the commission's authority to incur debts, sue and be sued, acquire property, and impose taxes on taxable property within the parish.

In addition to the repeal, the bill mandates that all obligations, property, records, and employees associated with the Recreation and Park Commission be transferred to the city of Baton Rouge, parish of East Baton Rouge. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without signature. If vetoed and later approved by the legislature, the act will become effective the day after such approval.
