House Bill No. [insert number] amends R.S. 56:1688(C) to expand the authority of state park wardens in Louisiana. The bill grants these wardens the specific power to enforce litter laws across the entire state, rather than being limited to their jurisdiction. Additionally, it allows them to issue citations for littering either by mail or in person.

The proposed changes retain the existing authority of state park wardens to enforce all rules and regulations of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, as well as all state laws within their jurisdiction. The new provisions aim to enhance the enforcement of litter laws, thereby promoting a cleaner environment throughout Louisiana.
