House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the complete abolition of the West Feliciana Parish Port Commission by repealing Chapter 44 of Title 34 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, specifically R.S. 34:3281 through 3286. This bill eliminates all powers and duties previously held by the commission, which included taxing and bonding authority. Following the repeal, the governing authority of West Feliciana Parish will assume the role of successor to the commission, taking over any unfinished business, documents, and obligations associated with the commission.

The bill also ensures that any ongoing legal proceedings involving the port commission will continue under the name of the parish governing authority, maintaining the effectiveness of all related documents. In summary, the legislation aims to streamline governance by dissolving the port commission and transferring its responsibilities directly to the parish authority.
