§ RS 33:4169.2. Contracts for sewage and liquid and solid waste treatment and disposal; parishes with populations of one hundred thousand or more
A. Any parish having a population of one hundred thousand or more according to the last federal census of record for which official figures have been made public may contract with public or private entities for the treatment and disposal of sewage and liquid and solid wastes and related services and may pledge or dedicate any parish revenues legally available for such purposes, including sales and use taxes, taxes, fees, and charges, as the governing authority may deem appropriate to the payment of the parish's obligations under such contract. Such contract shall contain such terms or provisions as the parish governing authority may deem appropriate, except that any contract or renewal thereof shall not exceed forty years. The contract and pledge of revenues by the parish shall be authorized by appropriate ordinance or resolution of the governing authority, which authorization shall be preceded by a public hearing, said hearing having been advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the parish at least once and at least thirty days before adoption of the resolution or ordinance, without the requirement of any election, approval, or ratification of the electorate or any state board, commission, agency, authority, or office, except as may be required in the respective parish charters of such parishes, it being the intention of this Section to provide such parish with the greatest latitude in the negotiation and consummation of such contracts in order to take early advantage of rapidly changing business conditions.
B. All immunity of the state of Louisiana from liability under antitrust law is hereby extended to any parish acting within the scope of the grants of authority contained in this Section, and when so acting, a parish shall be presumed to be acting in furtherance of state policy.
