SUPPLEMENTAL PAY: Provides for employees who are eligible for extra compensation paid by certain local entities. (8/1/26) (OR DECREASE GF EX See Note)

SB 153 clarifies which Louisiana local government employees qualify for supplemental pay by defining eligibility more precisely. It excludes secretarial/clerical staff, maintenance workers, part-time employees, volunteers, and those without certified fire training or an active emergency medical responder license. The bill amends existing law to ensure supplemental pay applies only to specific public safety and support roles meeting these criteria. It does not create new benefits but refines who receives current supplemental pay under existing rules. The bill is currently pending before the Finance Committee.
