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 specific legal language change involves the insertion of "St. Tammany" into the existing law, which previously only applied to New Orleans, East Baton Rouge, and Jefferson parishes. This amendment aims to enhance local governance and ethical oversight within St. Tammany Parish by allowing for the establishment of local ethics entities.
