DISTRICTS/COMMUNICATIONS: Provides relative to the membership of the Orleans Parish Communications District
This bill amends the membership rules of the Orleans Parish Communications District by adding the Director of Orleans Parish Emergency Medical Services as a member. The legislative text achieves this by inserting a new category for the emergency medical services director and renumbering the subsequent existing members to maintain the correct order. This change directly affects the district's governance structure by ensuring representation from the emergency medical services leadership. The bill does not alter the district's funding, powers, or operational responsibilities, focusing solely on updating the list of who serves on the board.
