Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 48, § 1455. Participation

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. The board may exercise authority in parishes other than East Baton Rouge Parish if any such parish is a participating parish as provided in this Section.

B. A parish may become a participating parish if both of the following conditions are met:

(1) The governing authority of the parish approves such participation. Such approval shall be adopted in accordance with the procedures that apply to the adoption of an ordinance by the governing authority.

(2) The board approves such participation.

C. The board may enter into any contract it deems appropriate with a participating parish to stipulate the nature of the parish's participation in the activities of the system. Such agreements may provide for but are not limited to a parish's financial commitment for the provision of transportation services, for the board's obligation to provide certain services, or for such other terms as the parties may agree upon not inconsistent with this Chapter or other law.

D. (1) The board may, at its discretion, expel any parish from participation in the event of a material breach of an agreement with it.

(2) Any parish may withdraw from participation upon the approval of such action by its governing body adopted in accordance with the same procedures such parish requires for the approval of ordinances, but any such withdrawal shall not affect any obligations owed to the system.
