The bill amends R.S. 33:103(C)(1)(l) to authorize the governing authority of the city of Lake Charles to pay a per diem to members of its planning commission for attending meetings. This provision allows Lake Charles, along with other specified municipalities, to compensate commission members for their participation, thereby encouraging active involvement in local planning efforts.

The legislation specifies that the rate of per diem and the number of meetings eligible for compensation will be determined by an ordinance from the governing authority of each municipality. This amendment aims to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of municipal planning commissions by providing financial incentives for their members.
