SB 176 Louisiana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AIRCRAFT/AVIATION: Provides relative to the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport. (8/1/25) (EN +$251,239 FC SG EX)

SB 176 is a procedural bill that corrects minor technical errors in existing Louisiana law related to the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport. It amends references to court names (e.g., changing "Middle District Court of Louisiana" to "United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana") and standardizes legal citations (e.g., changing "19th" to "Nineteenth" and fixing punctuation). The bill does not create new policies or affect airport operations, funding, or stakeholders - it solely ensures consistency in legal documents. It passed the Senate unanimously (36-0) with no substantive policy changes.
