House Bill No. by Representative Jacob Landry seeks to amend the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District's governing structure by removing Vermilion Parish as a member of the district. The bill amends R.S. 15:1109(A) to exclude Vermilion Parish from the list of parishes that comprise the district, which now includes Acadia, Allen, Evangeline, Iberia, Jefferson Davis, St. Landry, St. Martin, and St. Mary. Additionally, the bill modifies the composition of the board of commissioners from eleven to ten members, eliminating the requirement for one commissioner to be a qualified elector from Vermilion Parish.

Furthermore, the bill repeals R.S. 15:1109.1(A)(11), which previously outlined the appointment of a commissioner from Vermilion Parish. The remaining provisions regarding the appointment of commissioners are amended to ensure that the board continues to represent the interests of the remaining parishes in the district. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
