This bill amends R.S. 33:4754(A)(1) to expand the authority of certain governing bodies in Louisiana to address blighted properties. Specifically, it allows the governing authorities of the city of Lafayette and Lafayette Parish, along with several other parishes and municipalities, to adopt ordinances, rules, and regulations aimed at securing or demolishing buildings that pose a danger to public welfare or safety.

The key insertions in the bill include the addition of Lafayette and Lafayette Parish to the list of governing authorities that can take action against dilapidated structures. This change is intended to enhance local efforts to manage and mitigate the risks associated with dangerous buildings, thereby improving community safety and welfare.
