HB 34 Original 2015 Regular Session Dove
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.
