SB 139 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

HOUSING: Provides relative to the civil service status of employees of the Delcambre Housing Authority and the Gueydan Housing Authority. (gov sig)

This bill removes employees of the Delcambre and Gueydan Housing Authorities from the state civil service system in Louisiana. By law, it also clarifies that these two housing authorities are not considered state instrumentalities for constitutional purposes. As a result, hiring, firing, and other personnel decisions for these organizations will no longer be subject to the protections and rules that apply to state civil servants. The change directly affects the staffing and administrative operations of these specific local housing agencies.
