Louisiana HB213 amends the Downtown Development District of Baton Rouge, altering board composition, powers, and duties.
Louisiana HB213 modifies the Downtown Development District of Baton Rouge by changing the composition and powers of its governing board. The bill revises the appointment process for board members, requiring three members to be property owners or lessees within the district. It also allows the district to contract with the city-parish for services and authorizes the district to make purchases under $50,000. The board can now prepare plans directly, bypassing the previous requirement to go through the city-parish planning commission.
