House Bill No. [insert bill number] seeks to establish the Regency Park Townhomes Crime Prevention and Security District in Orleans Parish as a political subdivision of the state. The district's mission is to enhance beautification, security, and overall community well-being within its boundaries, which are defined by Morrison Road, Downman Road, Seabrook Place, and Countess Lane. Governance will be overseen by a board of commissioners made up of five voting members and one nonvoting member, including representatives from the Regency Park Townhomes Association and local residents.

The bill also allows the city of New Orleans to levy a parcel fee of up to $300 per year per parcel, contingent upon voter approval, with the fee collected in a manner similar to ad valorem taxes and subject to renewal every five years. The district will be responsible for creating an annual budget and will undergo audits by the legislative auditor. Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for indemnifying board members and officers, protecting them from personal liability for actions taken in their official roles, except in cases of misconduct or personal gain. This new liability protection is formalized in R.S. 33:9091.30 and will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for gubernatorial action.
