The bill, introduced by Senator McMath, enacts a new provision in Louisiana law, specifically R.S. 33:9612.2, which pertains to local ethics entities in St. Tammany Parish. This new section allows for the allocation of funds generated from taxes imposed for local ethics entities.

Under this legislation, any tax levied by St. Tammany Parish for the purpose of supporting a local ethics entity can be allocated to any local agency that falls under the jurisdiction of that entity. This allocation is intended to ensure compliance with state law, thereby enhancing the operational effectiveness of local ethics oversight in the parish.
