Senate Bill No. 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 office of police chief, with the stipulation that such action cannot take effect until the current chief's term ends or a vacancy occurs. This change introduces a new provision under R.S. 33:381(C)(37), which specifically addresses the governance of municipal officers in Hall Summit.

Additionally, if the 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 aims to ensure that the village continues to have access to law enforcement support even after the abolition of its police chief and department. The bill is set to take effect on August 1, 2025.
