RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 380 (HB 324) 2022 Regular Session Orgeron
Existing law provides for the composition of the Oyster Task Force.
Existing law further provides for four members appointed by the La. Oyster Dealers and
Growers Association. Prior law required one member to be from Lafourche Parish and one
from Jefferson Parish.
New law retains the existing law requirement that four members be appointed by the La.
Oyster Dealers and Growers Association, but changes the requirement that one member each
be from Lafourche Parish and Jefferson Parish, to a requirement that two members serve at-
large, one of the remaining two members being from Jefferson Parish, and one being chosen
from Lafourche Parish or Terrebonne Parish.
Prior law provided that one member be appointed to the task force by the Calcasieu Lake
Oyster Task Force. New law changes the appointing authority from the Calcasieu Lake
Oyster Task Force to the Cameron Parish police jury.
New law adds one member to the task force to be appointed by the La. Oyster Aquaculture
Association.
New law requires that the Cameron Parish police jury appointee be a licensed oyster
harvester with documented commercial landings from Calcasieu Lake or a licensed seafood
dealer with documented commercial purchases from Calcasieu Lake in the year of or prior
to appointment.
