SUPPLEMENTAL PAY: Provides supplemental pay for fire protection officers for the Lakefront Management Authority (OR +$32,400 GF EX See Note)
HB 189 requires the state to provide an extra $600 per month to full-time fire protection officers employed by the Lakefront Management Authority, in addition to their regular pay from the authority’s self-generated revenue. To qualify, officers must have completed one year of service, and those hired after March 1986 must hold specific certifications (NFPA 1001 Firefighter I/II or approved LSU training plus airport firefighting certification). The bill’s effective date depends on voter approval of a related constitutional amendment. This is a targeted pay provision for a single agency’s fire staff, not a broad legislative change.
