House Bill No. by Representative Hilferty amends the existing law regarding the Lakeview Crime Prevention District in Orleans Parish. The bill specifically addresses the parcel fee that can be imposed within the district, increasing the maximum allowable fee from $150 to $250 per parcel per year. This change requires the fee to be approved by a majority of registered voters in the district through an election, which can only be called by a resolution from the board of commissioners of the district.

The bill retains the current structure and governance of the Lakeview Crime Prevention District, which was established to enhance crime prevention and security for residents by increasing law enforcement presence. The proposed law maintains the existing provisions while updating the fee structure to allow for greater funding potential for crime prevention efforts within the district.
