Abstract: Provides relative to recognition and compensation of firefighters at St. Tammany
Fire Protection District No. 4.
Present law provides with respect to compensation for fire department personnel. Present
law requires that equal recognition and compensation be received for equal performance of
duty and responsibility by firefighters.
Proposed law, applicable to St. Tammany Fire Protection District No. 4, authorizes rather
than requires such recognition and compensation.
