Pope HB No. 256
(KEYWORD, SUMMARY, AND DIGEST as amended by Senate committee
amendments)
SCHOOLS/BOARDS. Provides relative to certain interlocal risk management agencies
DIGEST
Present law authorizes multiple local governmental subdivisions to form an "interlocal risk
management agency" to develop and administer risk management programs to insure and
defend against certain legal claims and to establish group self-insurance funds to self-insure
or purchase joint insurance policies for accident and health protection or to insure against
public liability or worker's compensation risks. Proposed law retains present law and also
authorizes city, parish, or local public school systems to form and participate in interlocal
risk management agencies.
Present law authorizes municipalities to designate the La. Municipal Assoc. and parishes to
designate the Police Jury Assoc. of La. to administer the risk management agency and any
group self-insurance fund and, if so designated, the boards of these associations serve as
trustees of each interlocal risk management agency. Proposed law also authorizes school
boards, by adoption of a resolution, to so designate the La. School Board Assoc. as an
administrator and its board of directors will serve as a board of trustees.
Present law specifically authorizes the La. Municipal Assoc. and the Police Jury Assoc. of
La. to become members of an interlocal risk management agency in order to provide accident
and health protection to its own employees, insure against public liability and worker's
compensation, and to provide coverage for motor vehicle liability, burglary and forgery, and
fire loss. Proposed law authorizes the La. School Board Assoc. to also become a member
beneficiary of such agency.
Proposed law provides technical corrections to cross-references of various laws.
