This bill amends the existing laws governing the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District by removing Vermilion Parish as a member of the district and consequently reducing the number of commissioners on the board from eleven to ten. Specifically, the language in R.S. 15:1109(A) is updated to reflect this change, eliminating any references to Vermilion Parish. Additionally, the bill repeals a provision that previously required one commissioner to be appointed from Vermilion Parish, thereby streamlining the appointment process for the remaining commissioners.

The amendments also revise the appointment process for the board of commissioners. The new language specifies that one commissioner will be appointed by the parish presidents of the remaining parishes within the district, rather than including a representative from Vermilion Parish. The bill outlines the effective date of these changes, which will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
