RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 206 (HB 238) 2022 Regular Session Orgeron
Existing law creates and provides for Special Education District No. 1 of the parish of
Lafourche, which operates a facility known as "the Center" for individuals with disabilities.
Provides for governance by a board of seven commissioners, four of whom are appointed by
the parish school board and three of whom are appointed by the parish governing authority.
Prior law provided that the school board and the parish governing authority each appointed
one member of the Friends of the Center to the board of commissioners. New law removes
this requirement.
Existing law provides that the remaining members of the board of commissioners of the
special school district are appointed from nominations submitted by the members of the
respective appointing authority who are elected from the area comprising the district. New
law provides that all members of the board are appointed from such nominations and
removes a requirement for submission of a specific number of nominations to each
appointing authority.
Effective August 1, 2022.
