House Bill No. [insert bill number] amends the existing law regarding the Gentilly Development District in Orleans Parish by expanding its boundaries. The current law outlines the district's perimeter, which begins at the intersection of Bayou St. John and Robert E. Lee Boulevard and follows a specific route to define the area. The new language adds an additional perimeter that includes the area bounded by I-10 to the west, I-10 and I-610 to the north, Peoples Avenue south to Almonaster Avenue to the east, and Florida Avenue to the south.

This bill retains the existing governance structure of the district, which is overseen by a seven-member board of commissioners, while enhancing the district's geographical scope. The effective date of the bill will be upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without signature.
