May 29, 2026

Summary

The law lets parishes and municipalities choose to issue a request for proposals (RFP) before granting an exclusive contract for garbage collection, but it does not make the step mandatory. It applies to any governing authority that awards such contracts, giving them more flexibility in how they procure waste‑service providers. The change is intended to encourage competition and transparency in the selection process.
