Abstract: Requires the Acadia Parish clerk of court to pay for group insurance premiums
for certain retirees.
Present law authorizes the clerk of any district court to contract for group insurance for the
clerk of court, employees, and dependants of the clerk or the clerk's employees. Further
provides that the clerk or any clerk's employee that retires under the clerk of court retirement
program may elect to continue insurance coverage under the program and that the cost may
be paid in the same manner as if he were still employed by the clerk of court, if employed
by the clerk of court and a member of the La. Clerks' of Court Retirement and Relief Fund
for at least 12 years prior to retirement.
Proposed law requires the Acadia Parish clerk of court to pay the full amount of all insurance
premiums for all retirees who have worked with the Acadia Parish clerk of court's office for
20 years and are at least 55 years of age.
