House Bill No. by Representative Freiberg aims to amend various sections of Louisiana law concerning economic development districts in East Baton Rouge Parish. The bill specifically addresses the Downtown Development District, the Baton Rouge Inner City Economic Development District, the Florida Boulevard Economic Development District, and the Plank Road Business Economic Development District. A significant change includes the renaming of the "Greater Baton Rouge Area Chamber of Commerce" to the "Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership," which will now be responsible for submitting nominees for board appointments to these districts.

Additionally, the bill updates the definition of "regional economic development organization" to include the newly named Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership, along with other regional organizations. This legislative change is intended to streamline the governance and appointment processes within these economic development entities, thereby enhancing their effectiveness in promoting economic growth in the region.
