Abstract: Requires the St. James Parish assessor to pay the cost of certain group insurance
premiums for retirees of the assessor's office who meet certain eligibility criteria.
Present law requires the assessor in certain specific parishes to pay the premium cost of
group life, dental, group health, hospital, surgical, or other medical insurance for any
assessor or assessor's employee who meets either of the following requirements:
(1)The assessor or assessor's employee was elected, appointed, or hired before August
1, 2014, and retires in accordance with present law with at least 20 years of service.
(2)The assessor or assessor's employee was elected, appointed, or hired on or after
August 1, 2014, and retires in accordance with present law with at least 20 years of
service, at least 12 of which shall have been earned at the assessor's office from
which the person retires.
Proposed law retains present law but adds the St. James Parish assessor to the list of
assessors required to pay the cost of certain group insurance premiums for retirees of the
assessor's office who meet the eligibility criteria provided for in present law.
