Senate Bill No. 64, introduced by Senator Edmonds, amends the governance structure of the Shenandoah Estates Crime Prevention and Improvement District. The bill specifically modifies R.S. 33:9097.9(D)(1)(c) by changing the appointing authority for one of the board members. Previously, the mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish was responsible for appointing a member from a list of nominations submitted by the association; this authority is now transferred to the mayor of the city of St. George.

The bill retains the overall structure of the nine-member board of commissioners, which includes representatives from the Shenandoah Estates Homeowners' Association and various elected officials. The changes will take effect on August 1, 2025, ensuring that the governance of the district reflects the new local leadership while maintaining the requirement for nominations to come from the association.
