HB 53 Original 2021 Regular Session Mincey
Abstract: Provides for changes to the board of directors of the Livingston Parish Convention and
Visitors' Bureau.
Present law provides that the governing authority of any parish may form and create a tourist
commission.
Present law specifically creates certain tourist commissions, including the Livingston Parish Tourist
Commission (now known as the Livingston Parish Convention and Visitors' Bureau) composed of
all the territory in Livingston Parish.
Present law provides that, unless provided otherwise, a commission is governed by a board of seven
directors appointed by the governing authority of the parish.
Present law provides that, unless provided otherwise, appointments shall be made from a list of
nominees submitted to the governing authority by private, nonprofit groups that have an interest in
one or more aspects of the tourism industry.
Proposed law provides for an exception with respect to the Livingston Parish Convention and
Visitors' Bureau. Provides that the commission shall be governed by a board of nine directors;
otherwise retains present law.
