Committee adds Lafourche Parish seat to Atchafalaya heritage commission, approves bill
Summary
The committee voted to report HB319 favorably. The bill renames the heritage area to include Lafourche Parish and adds a seat on the Atchafalaya heritage commission.
The Senate Committee on Education reported HB319 favorably to the full legislature. Representative Ozeron said the bill, submitted at the request of the lieutenant governor's office and local leaders, adds Lafourche Parish to the Atchafalaya Trace/Atchafalaya National Heritage Area and increases the membership of the commission to include a representative from Lafourche Parish.
"My parish president asked that I get a seat added," Representative Ozeron said, describing the change as technical and limited to adding a 15th seat and making naming updates.
Senator Jackson Andrews moved to report the bill favorably; there were no objections recorded in the transcript. Supporters from the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area (white cards) were listed on the committee record; no amendments or roll-call tally were recorded in committee minutes in the transcript.
The transcript does not include detailed fiscal notes or an explicit effective date for the change.
