Summary
The law lets Louisiana parishes and cities temporarily prohibit open burning when fire risk is high and requires the ban to be published in the official parish journal. It also tells officials how to lift the ban once the risk eases and sets penalties such as fines or imprisonment for violations. This gives local officials clearer tools to protect public safety during fire‑danger periods.
