This bill amends R.S. 33:9611(A)(1) to authorize St. Tammany Parish to create local ethics entities, alongside the existing entities in New Orleans and East Baton Rouge and Jefferson parishes. The legislation 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 specific change made in the bill is the insertion of "St. Tammany" into the list of jurisdictions to which this chapter applies, thereby expanding the scope of local ethics oversight to include this parish. This amendment aims to enhance ethical governance at the local level by establishing a framework for ethics entities in St. Tammany Parish.
