The bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 33:381(C)(37) that allows the board of aldermen of the village of Hall Summit to abolish the office of chief of police and the municipal police department. This decision can be made upon the recommendation of the mayor, and any such action will not take effect until the current police chief's term ends or a vacancy occurs, whichever comes first. Additionally, if the office and department are abolished, the mayor and board are authorized to contract with law enforcement entities within Red River Parish for law enforcement services.

This legislative change aims to streamline law enforcement in Hall Summit by potentially replacing the elected position of police chief with an appointed one, thereby allowing for more flexibility in law enforcement management. The bill emphasizes the importance of local governance in determining law enforcement structures while ensuring that the village can still access necessary law enforcement services through cooperative agreements.
