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.
