House Bill No. by Representative McMakin seeks to repeal the 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 will be transferred to the city of Baton Rouge. The effective date of the bill will be upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, upon the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature. If vetoed and later approved by the legislature, the bill will take effect the day after such approval.
