LOCAL OFFL/POLICE CHIEFS: Provides relative to the position of police chief for the city of Baton Rouge

HB 832 requires the mayor-president of Baton Rouge to evaluate the city's police chief every three years after initial appointment, then annually. After each evaluation, the mayor-president may reconfirm the chief for one year or demote them to their previous position without disciplinary action or appeal rights. The bill directly affects the Baton Rouge police chief and mayor-president, establishing a new evaluation process for the role (pending introduction as of February 2026).
