Senate Bill No. 195, introduced by Senator Harris, aims to amend and reenact specific provisions of the French Quarter Management District's governance structure and sanitation services. The bill updates the composition of the board of commissioners by changing the designation of several appointing organizations from "Inc" to "Incorporated." This includes organizations such as the Vieux Carre Property Owners, Residents and Associates, Louisiana Restaurant Association, and others.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision allowing the French Quarter Management District to procure its own emergency sanitation services if the city of New Orleans is unable to provide these services due to a lack of staff or a contracted vendor. The costs incurred for these emergency services will be reimbursed by the city, and the contract will remain in effect until the city resumes its sanitation services. This legislation is set to take effect on August 1, 2025.
