House Bill No. by Representative Taylor aims to establish statewide safety standards for parades in Louisiana by enacting R.S. 14:39.3. The bill directs the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to create rules and regulations that ensure public safety at all permitted parades. Key provisions include prohibiting glass bottles on floats, banning discriminatory items and messages, and restricting the throwing of items with obscene words or symbols. Additionally, the bill mandates that each float rider undergo safety briefings and outlines procedures for reporting incidents when safety rules are violated.

Furthermore, the bill requires organizations hosting parades to maintain a list of all individuals participating in the parade for identification purposes in the event of an incident. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance safety and accountability among parade participants, ensuring a more secure environment for both participants and spectators.
