Senate Bill No. SLS 25RS-44, introduced by Senator Seabaugh, proposes the abolition of the office of police chief and the police department in the village of Hall Summit, Louisiana. The bill allows the board of aldermen, upon the mayor's recommendation, to abolish the police chief position, with the stipulation that such action cannot take effect until the current chief's term ends or a vacancy occurs. This change is aimed at streamlining law enforcement governance in the village.

Additionally, if the police chief's office and department are abolished, the mayor and board of aldermen will have the authority to contract with law enforcement entities within Red River Parish for law enforcement services. This provision is intended to ensure that the village continues to have access to necessary law enforcement support even after the dissolution of its police department. The bill is set to take effect on August 1, 2025.
