Vermilion Parish leaves regional juvenile justice district

The law removes Vermilion Parish from the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District and eliminates its board seat. The board shrinks from 11 members to 10. The district now covers Acadia, Allen, Evangeline, Iberia, Jefferson Davis, St. Landry, St. Martin, and St. Mary parishes. Parish presidents and police jury presidents in parishes without home rule charters jointly appoint one district-wide commissioner. City court judges with juvenile authority jointly appoint another commissioner. Both commissioners must live in the district, and their initial terms are four years. The law does not set new funding, taxes, fees, or household benefits.
