The bill enacts a new provision, R.S. 33:4712.26, which allows the governing authority of the city of Lafayette to name the recreational complex at Graham Brown Memorial Park in honor of a living individual, specifically Merlin Leger. This provision overrides any existing laws, such as R.S. 42:267, that may restrict the naming of public buildings after living persons.

This legislation aims to recognize and honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the community by allowing their names to be associated with public facilities. The bill reflects a shift in policy to celebrate living contributors to society, thereby fostering a sense of community pride and acknowledgment.
