PORTS/NEW ORLEANS: Changes the membership of the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans
HB 803 changes the composition of the Port of New Orleans Board of Commissioners by increasing the number of St. Bernard Parish representatives from one to two members. This adjusts the total board size from seven to eight members, with specific geographic representation: four from Orleans Parish, two from Jefferson Parish, and two from St. Bernard Parish. The bill modifies existing statutes (R.S. 34:1) to formalize these changes in board membership structure. As a procedural adjustment to governance, it directly affects how the Port Board is constituted and represents local parishes.
