Bill > SB51

This bill amends Louisiana Revised Statutes 44:3.3 to expand the definition of "public power authority" specifically for the city of Alexandria. The bill adds a new provision that defines a public power authority as not only a political subdivision created to manage public power projects, but also explicitly includes a utility division for the city of Alexandria. Importantly, the bill ensures that the city of Alexandria's governing authority will have access to commercially sensitive information held by the utility division. This change appears to clarify and formalize the city's oversight of its utility operations, providing greater transparency and control over utility-related information. The bill is set to take effect on August 1, 2025, and represents a technical modification to existing law that strengthens the city's ability to manage and understand its public power infrastructure and related sensitive information.
