The bill, introduced by Senator McMath, enacts new provisions in Louisiana law regarding the issuance of permits for construction in specific water bodies within St. Tammany Parish. It establishes a prohibition on the issuance of Class B Permits and coastal use permits for the construction of bulkheads in a designated area from March 17, 2025, to January 1, 2030. The defined area is specified by a set of geographic coordinates that encompass local water bodies known as Lake Emfred and Suter Slip.

Additionally, the bill outlines that during the specified timeframe, neither the secretary nor the approved local program for St. Tammany Parish will be allowed to issue coastal use permits for bulkhead construction within the same geographic area. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature.
