This bill amends the existing law regarding the Amite River Basin Drainage and Water Conservation District by removing the specific deadline for the board to promulgate regulations related to watershed management. Previously, the board was required to establish these regulations by January 1, 2026. The new language now states that the board shall promulgate regulations without a specified deadline, allowing for greater flexibility in their timeline.

The amendment specifically alters R.S. 38:3306(A)(2) by deleting the previous deadline and inserting a more open-ended requirement for the board to address watershed management regulations. This change aims to enhance the board's ability to manage watershed issues effectively without the constraint of a fixed timeline.
