Senate Bill No. by Senator Barrow amends the boundaries of the Baker Economic Development District as outlined in R.S. 33:9038.71(B). The bill specifies that the district will now include all parcels of land bordering Plank Road within the city limits of Baker, starting from the northern city limits on Plank Road and identifying specific land parcels. Notably, the bill deletes the previous language that referred to additional described parcels or tracts of land located in Baker, thereby streamlining the definition of the district's boundaries.

The bill retains the existing provisions that establish the Baker Economic Development District as a special taxing district aimed at fostering cooperative economic development and improving the property within the district. The changes to the boundaries are intended to enhance the district's effectiveness in achieving its redevelopment goals. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
