Abstract: Relative to the Seabrook Neighborhood Improvement and Security District, provides
relative to the parcel fee imposed within the district.
Present law creates the Seabrook Neighborhood Improvement and Security District in Orleans Parish
as a political subdivision for the primary object and purpose of promoting and encouraging the
beautification, security, and overall betterment of the district. Provides for the district's boundaries,
governance, and powers and duties.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law authorizes the governing authority of the city of New Orleans, subject to voter
approval, to impose a parcel fee on behalf of the district not to exceed $200 per year for each parcel.
Provides that the fee expires on Dec. 31, 2018, but authorizes renewal of the fee for an additional
eight years. Proposed law instead provides that the fee expires at the end of the term provided for
in the proposition authorizing the fee, not to exceed eight years. Proposed law otherwise retains
present law.
Effective upon signature of governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
