Senate Bill No. 140, introduced by Senator Boudreaux, seeks to amend current law regarding the naming of public buildings in Lafayette, Louisiana. Specifically, it enacts R.S. 33:4712.26, which allows the governing authority of the city of Lafayette to name the Heymann Park Complex in honor of a living person, John "Cush" Leblanc. This provision is notable as it overrides existing law (R.S. 42:267) that prohibits naming public buildings after living individuals.

The bill is set to take effect on August 1, 2025, and aims to recognize the contributions of John "Cush" Leblanc by commemorating him through the naming of the park complex. This legislative change reflects a shift in policy to allow for such honors, which were previously restricted under the existing law.
