HR 285 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

LOCAL OFFICIALS: Requests the legislative auditor to conduct a study of compensation authorized for parish assessors and clerks of court

This bill is a resolution that asks the state legislative auditor to study the salaries and other pay for parish assessors and clerks of court in Louisiana. The study will examine how these officials are currently paid, compare their compensation levels, and look for ways to make the pay structures more fair and easier to understand. To gather information, the auditor will consult with professional associations representing these officials and must submit a report with its findings and suggestions to lawmakers by May 2027. This measure does not change any laws or pay amounts immediately but instead initiates a review to inform future decisions about compensation.
