House Bill No. by Representative Berault seeks to amend R.S. 33:9611(A)(1) to authorize St. Tammany Parish to establish local ethics entities. This legislation outlines the powers, duties, and authority of these entities, as well as provisions related to local codes of conduct and ethics ordinances. The bill aims to enhance local governance by allowing St. Tammany Parish to create its own framework for ethical oversight.

The specific amendment includes the insertion of "St. Tammany" into the existing law, which previously applied only to the city of New Orleans and the parishes of East Baton Rouge and Jefferson. This change expands the scope of the law to include St. Tammany Parish, thereby enabling it to implement local ethics regulations and oversight mechanisms.
