The bill enacts a new provision, R.S. 41:1215.4, which specifically addresses the leasing of the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center located in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. It grants the governing authority of Ascension Parish the authority to lease all or part of the Expo Center, which is situated at 9039 St. Landry Road in Gonzales. This new legal language emphasizes that the lease must outline the permitted uses of the property and requires approval from the governing authority of Ascension Parish.

This legislation aims to streamline the process for leasing the Expo Center, ensuring that local governance has the final say in the execution and approval of such leases. By providing this authority, the bill seeks to enhance the management and utilization of the public land designated for the Expo Center, thereby potentially increasing its operational efficiency and community benefit.
