Present law provides that in Acadia Parish, Cameron Parish, East Feliciana Parish, Iberia Parish,
Red River Parish, St. Tammany Parish, Tangipahoa Parish, Washington Parish, and West
Feliciana Parish, the clerks of the district courts of those parishes may receive an automobile
expense allowance equal to 15% of their annual salary, provided that the clerk of court maintains
$300,000 of automobile insurance per accident for bodily injury and $100,000 of automobile
insurance per accident for property damage.
Present law further provides that the expense allowance is to come from surplus funds in each of
the offices of the clerks of court and at no additional expense to the state or local governing
