Senate Bill No. by Senator Edmonds amends the governance structure of the Shenandoah Estates Crime Prevention and Improvement District. Specifically, it modifies R.S. 33:9097.9(D)(1)(c) by changing the appointing authority for one of the board members. The bill deletes the reference to the "mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish" and replaces it with the "mayor of the city of St. George," who will appoint one member from a list of nominations submitted by the association.
The bill retains the overall structure of the nine-member board of commissioners as established in present law, which includes representatives from the Shenandoah Estates Homeowners' Association and various elected officials. This change is set to take effect on August 1, 2025, and aims to better align the governance of the district with the newly established city of St. George.
