HB 187 Original 2016 Regular Session Bishop
Abstract: Authorizes an automobile expense allowance for the assessor in Lafayette Parish equal
to 15% of the assessor's salary to be paid from existing funds of the assessor's office.
Present law authorizes an automobile expense allowance for the assessor in Webster Parish. The
allowance is equal to 15% of the assessor's annual salary and payable out of existing funds of the
assessor's office, provided the assessor maintains $300,000 of automobile insurance per accident for
bodily injury and $100,000 of automobile insurance per accident for property damage.
Proposed law retains present law as it relates to the assessor in Webster Parish but adds authorization
for the assessor in Lafayette Parish to have an automobile expense allowance as provided for in
present law.
Proposed law adds a limitation for the assessors in both Webster and Lafayette Parishes that the
expense allowance shall be funded by the assessor at no additional expense to the state or local
governing authority.
