SPECIAL DISTRICTS: Provides for the creation and alteration of hospital service districts in Terrebonne Parish and LaFourche Parish. (8/1/26)

This bill establishes new rules for creating and changing the boundaries of hospital service districts in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes. Under the law, any decision to dissolve or redraw these districts requires approval from two-thirds of the district's board of commissioners and a majority vote from the local residents in a special election. The measure also allows parish officials to call such an election once the board has given its initial approval. Ultimately, the legislation ensures that major changes to these healthcare areas involve both local leadership and direct voter consent.
