House Bill No. by Representative Chenevert amends the membership structure of the board of commissioners for the East Baton Rouge Parish Communications District. The bill increases the board's membership from seven to nine members, with the two additional members to be appointed by the governing authority of East Baton Rouge Parish. These new members will serve initial terms of four years, with their successors also serving four-year terms. Additionally, one of the newly added members must be a qualified elector of the city of St. George.

The proposed changes are reflected in the amendment to R.S. 33:9103(A)(6), which outlines the governance of communication districts. The bill maintains the requirement that all board members be qualified electors of the district and continues the practice of staggered four-year terms for board members. The adjustments aim to enhance representation and governance within the East Baton Rouge Parish Communications District.
