§4886. Permits; certain utility services; parishes and municipalities
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if a person who holds an
account with an authorized utility provider that is being charged by the provider for electric
services provided to a dwelling located in the state of Louisiana transfers the account to
another person, the parish or municipal governing authority shall not require the new account
holder to acquire a permit from the respective parish or municipal governing authority to
continue the electric services being provided by the authorized utility provider to any such
dwelling. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit regulatory inspection or enforcement
regarding on-site sewerage disposal systems, nor shall it prohibit a parish or municipal
governing authority from collecting past due utility debt.
