This bill amends R.S. 33:9611(A)(1) to authorize St. Tammany Parish to create local ethics entities, thereby expanding the application of the chapter to include this parish alongside New Orleans and East Baton Rouge and Jefferson parishes. The bill outlines the powers, duties, and authority of these local ethics entities, as well as provisions related to local codes of conduct and ethics ordinances.

The amendment specifically inserts St. Tammany into the existing legal framework, allowing for the establishment of local ethics entities that can address ethical standards and conduct within the parish. This change aims to enhance local governance and accountability by providing a structured approach to ethics at the parish level.
