Abstract: Adds the 32nd Judicial District to the list of judicial districts where the district
attorney may combine assistant district attorney salary warrants.
Present law provides for a minimum number of assistant district attorneys in each judicial
district and in the parish of Orleans, and further provides for a fixed total salary amount per
assistant district attorney.
Present law provides that, notwithstanding the minimum number of assistant district
attorneys permitted under present law in Orleans Parish, the 19th Judicial District, and the
23rd Judicial District, the district attorney for those districts may reallocate by combining
or dividing the fixed total amount of annual salary permitted to be paid to all assistant
district attorneys in that jurisdiction in any lawful manner the district attorney deems
appropriate.
Proposed law retains present law and adds the 32nd Judicial District to that list of judicial
districts authorized to group the salary warrants.
