House Bill No. by Representative McMakin proposes amendments to the membership structure of the Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge. The bill reduces the total number of commissioners from nine to five, with all members now required to be mayors from the municipalities of Baker, Baton Rouge, Central, St. George, and Zachary. The previous structure included three ex officio members and six appointed members, but this change simplifies the commission's composition. Additionally, the quorum requirement is adjusted from four members to three.

The bill also stipulates that the terms of current commission members will terminate on the effective date of the new law, although they will remain in office until the new members are appointed. The proposed law will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed. This legislative change aims to streamline the governance of the commission and ensure that its membership is directly tied to the elected leadership of the municipalities involved.
