This bill amends the existing law regarding the Jefferson Place/Bocage Crime Prevention and Improvement District by modifying the parcel fee imposed within the district. Specifically, it increases the maximum fee amount from five hundred and forty dollars to one thousand two hundred dollars per year for each improved parcel of land. Additionally, the initial fee for the first calendar year is raised from five hundred dollars to one thousand dollars.

The bill also stipulates that the fee can only be imposed after approval from a majority of registered voters in the district during an election, in accordance with the Louisiana Election Code. This ensures that any changes to the fee structure are subject to community consent, maintaining a level of accountability and transparency in the district's financial decisions.
