Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 33, § 4886. Permits; certain utility services; parishes and municipalities

Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if a person who holds an account with an authorized utility provider that is being charged by the provider for electric services provided to a dwelling located in the state of Louisiana transfers the account to another person, the parish or municipal governing authority shall not require the new account holder to acquire a permit from the respective parish or municipal governing authority to continue the electric services being provided by the authorized utility provider to any such dwelling. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit regulatory inspection or enforcement regarding on-site sewerage disposal systems, nor shall it prohibit a parish or municipal governing authority from collecting past due utility debt.
