The bill enacts a new Subpart D of Part I of Chapter 1 of Title 34 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, establishing the St. Bernard Transportation Corridor roadway. This legislation outlines the purpose of the roadway, which is to serve as a direct commercial traffic corridor connecting the Louisiana International Terminal to the interstate highway system, as well as an alternative local traffic route and an emergency evacuation route. The bill grants the board of commissioners of the Port of New Orleans the authority to pursue public-private partnerships for the project's design, construction, operation, and maintenance, while also ensuring compliance with state and federal laws.

Additionally, the bill delineates the powers and duties of the board, including the ability to enter agreements with public and private entities, acquire necessary property, and accept funding from various sources. It also establishes provisions for user fees and toll collection, ensuring that the roadway will be exempt from state taxation. The board is required to consult with the Department of Transportation and Development and local authorities regarding the project's design and its impact on existing infrastructure. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance transportation efficiency and public safety in the St. Bernard area.
