DISTRICTS/DRAINAGE: Provides relative to drainage districts
HB 350 amends Louisiana law governing drainage district commissioners. It requires commissioners to own property worth at least $500 in the district or represent a corporation owning such property, and specifies that only parish governing authorities (like police juries) can appoint commissioners based on landowners' recommendations. The bill allows commissioners to serve in multiple districts without violating dual office rules and clarifies that landowners owning a majority of district acreage can petition for commissioner removal. These changes directly affect drainage district commissioners and landowners in Louisiana's drainage districts.
