The bill enacts R.S. 33:4712.26, which specifically allows the governing authority of the city of Lafayette to name the Heymann Park Complex in honor of a living individual, John "Cush" Leblanc. This provision is established notwithstanding existing laws, including R.S. 42:267, which may otherwise restrict the naming of public buildings after living persons.
By introducing this legislation, the city of Lafayette is granted the authority to honor John "Cush" Leblanc through the naming of the park complex, thereby recognizing his contributions or significance to the community. The bill aims to facilitate this recognition while ensuring compliance with the newly established legal framework.
