This bill amends and reenacts several provisions of the law governing the Parkwood Terrace Crime Prevention and Neighborhood Improvement District in East Baton Rouge Parish. Key changes include the redefinition of the governing authority from the "governing authority of East Baton Rouge Parish" to the "district," and the establishment of a maximum parcel fee of $150 per year for residential lots, which can be increased annually by up to 10% without requiring a new election. The bill also clarifies that the fee will expire based on the proposition authorizing it, not exceeding ten years, and allows for the possibility of renewal.
Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the district's ability to solicit and accept voluntary contributions and grants, as well as indemnification and exculpation for its officers and board members. It ensures that board members are not liable for monetary damages under certain conditions, while still holding them accountable for misconduct or personal gain. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
