“No person shall dive or jump off of any public bridge, constructed or owned by the state or any of its political subdivisions, where the object and purpose of the act is to gain publicity.”
“Whoever violates this Section shall be fined not more than twenty-five dollars, or imprisoned for not more than thirty days, or both.”
“Acts 2014, No. 791, §7.”

Our reading
What matters here is the motive. Diving or jumping off a Louisiana public bridge is covered when the object and purpose is to gain publicity, and the fine tops out at twenty-five dollars, up to thirty days in jail, or both.
