HB 93 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

TAX/LOCAL: Provides relative to the authority of the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District to levy certain taxes

HB 93 is a technical amendment to clarify the tax authority of the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District. It corrects references in the tax code (specifically removing "and (D)" from sections 15:1109.5(C) and (D)) to ensure the district's existing power to levy certain local taxes remains properly defined under current law. The bill does not create new taxes or change tax rates; it only updates statutory language for accuracy. This procedural change affects the district's administrative authority but has no direct impact on taxpayers or new policy. The bill is currently pending introduction.

MINOR

The bill transitioned from a draft version to an enrolled act, finalizing its status as law. The primary substantive change involves the addition of multiple co-sponsors to the legislation, expanding the group of representatives supporting the measure. The core policy regarding the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District's authority to levy a 1% sales and use tax remains unchanged, as the text of the tax provisions was not altered in this version.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to authorize the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District to levy a specific sales and use tax upon voter approval.

TECHNICAL

Multiple representatives (Berault, Boyer, Bryant, Domangue, Jackson, Owen, Romero, and Spell) were added as co-sponsors to the bill.

The document status changed from 'ORIGINAL' draft to 'ENROLLED' Act No. 240, indicating the bill has been signed into law.

The original digest and abstract explaining the bill's purpose were removed, as these are no longer needed once the bill is enacted.
