House Bill No. 396, introduced by Representative Bayham, aims to officially designate the Chalmette Ferry terminal as the "Michael C. Ginart, Jr. Ferry Terminal." This designation honors the late Michael C. Ginart, Jr. and connects the city of Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish with Algiers Point in New Orleans.

The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation and Development collaborate with the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority to create and install appropriate signage that reflects this new designation. This initiative not only commemorates Ginart's legacy but also enhances the recognition of the ferry terminal within the community.
