Senate Bill No. 453, introduced by Senator Allain, aims to establish specific regulations regarding the creation and alteration of hospital service districts in Terrebonne Parish and Lafourche Parish. The bill enacts new provisions under R.S. 46:1051(F) and (G), which stipulate that the governing authorities of these parishes cannot abolish or alter the boundaries of a hospital service district without the approval of two-thirds of the full membership of the district's board of commissioners and a majority vote from the district's voters. This process must occur through an election called for this specific purpose, in accordance with the Louisiana Election Code.

The proposed law retains existing provisions that allow police juries to create and alter hospital service districts but adds the requirement for voter approval in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes. This change aims to ensure that any significant modifications to hospital service districts are made with the consent of both the governing body and the constituents affected by such changes. The bill is set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
