HB 87 Original 2019 Regular Session Leopold
Abstract: Authorizes for supplemental pay of $500 per month for fire protection officers of the
Plaquemines Port Harbor and Terminal District.
Present law authorizes supplementary pay of $500 per month for any regularly employed firefighter
who is paid not less than $300 per month by any municipality, parish, fire protection district or other
political subdivision maintaining a fire department or by the Chitimacha Tribe of La. or Coushatta
Tribe of La., or any nonprofit corporation contracting with any political subdivision and has
completed one year of service. Further authorizes supplemental pay for certain full-time firefighters
with the New Orleans port authority.
Proposed law retains present law but adds full time fire protection officers of the Plaquemines Port
Harbor and Terminal District to the list of fire protection officers authorized to receive supplemental
pay of $500 per month. If supplemental pay is increased for other fire protection officers as provided
in present law, then supplemental pay shall also increase for fire protection officers of the
Plaquemines Port Harbor and Terminal District.
Effective July 1, 2020.
