Henry Burns HB No. 186
Abstract: Provides for a route designation change for the transportation of hazardous
material on Interstate 49 between the Caddo-DeSoto parish boundary and its
intersection with the Louisiana-Arkansas boundary instead of Interstate 49's
intersection with Interstate 20.
Present law provides that, except for carriers making local pickups or deliveries, carriers
using the route to reach a local pickup or delivery point, or carriers traveling to or from their
terminal facilities, or carriers using the route to reach maintenance or service facilities within
the boundaries of the parish, no carrier shall transport hazardous materials in the parishes of
Caddo or Bossier, except on specific routes listed in present law, including but not limited
to Interstate 49 between the Caddo-DeSoto parish boundary and its intersection with
Interstate 20.
Proposed law retains present law and changes the route specified as Interstate 49 between
the Caddo-DeSoto parish boundary and its intersection with Interstate 20 to the route
specified as Interstate 49 between the Caddo-DeSoto parish boundary and its intersection
with the Louisiana-Arkansas boundary.
