Senate Bill No. 140, introduced by Senator Boudreaux, seeks to amend current law regarding the naming of public buildings in the city of Lafayette. Specifically, it enacts R.S. 33:4712.26, which allows the governing authority 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 represents a significant change in policy for the city of Lafayette, allowing for the recognition of individuals who are still alive. This legislative action reflects a shift towards honoring contributions made by living citizens within the community.
