SB 18 Original 2019 Regular Session Hensgens
Present law authorizes the police jury to elect a parish treasurer for a term of two years. Requires
that the office be located at a site designated by the local governing authority and further requires
the parish treasurer to maintain an office at the parish seat.
Proposed law retains present law and provides an exception for Acadia Parish. Requires the parish
governing authority to elect the parish secretary-treasurer for a term of four years. Further proposed
law provides that the secretary-treasurer's term is concurrent with the term of the parish governing
authority members.
Present law provides for the governing authority of Acadia Parish to make an appointment if a
vacancy occurs prior to the expiration of a term.
Effective August 1, 2019.
