Senate Bill No. 139, introduced by Senator Price, aims to authorize the governing authority of Ascension Parish to lease the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center, located at 9039 St. Landry Road in Gonzales, Louisiana. The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 41:1215.4, which allows for the leasing of all or any portion of the Expo Center, notwithstanding any other provisions of law that may contradict this authorization.

The proposed law stipulates that the lease must outline the intended uses of the property and requires approval from the governing authority of Ascension Parish. This legislation is set to take effect on August 1, 2025, and is intended to facilitate the management and utilization of the Expo Center for various purposes.
