SPECIAL DISTRICTS: Provides relative to the Recreation and Park Commission for the parish of East Baton Rouge. (gov sig)

SB 343 amends the structure of East Baton Rouge Parish's Recreation and Park Commission. It specifies that the commission will consist of three ex-officio members (mayors of Baker, Baton Rouge, Central, St. George, and Zachary, each appointing a designee) and six appointed members: at least two residents of Baton Rouge city and one resident of unincorporated East Baton Rouge Parish. The bill requires the commission to adjust residency requirements after each federal census and mandates that all members serve without pay. This change aligns the commission's membership rules with East Baton Rouge Parish's Home Rule Charter, correcting a previous law that conflicted with local government structure.
