DIGEST
SB 379 Original 2020 Regular Session Peterson
Present law provides that amounts paid by the city of New Orleans for expenses, including salaries
and maintenance of constitutional officers, their deputies, subordinates, and employees, to adequately
fund the office of the clerk of the Criminal District Court for Orleans Parish are necessary for the
efficient performance of the powers and duties required of a judicial officer of the state and prohibits
reduction of these amounts by the city without the consent of the legislature.
Present law provides that existing law is not to be construed as granting the city any rights, powers,
authority, or jurisdiction over any constitutional officers, their deputies, employees, subordinates,
or over any state or district officers, their deputies, subordinates, or employees.
Proposed law retains present law and removes the mandate that prohibits the reduction amounts paid
by the city of New Orleans for expenses, including salaries and maintenance of constitutional
officers, their deputies, subordinates, and employees, to adequately fund the office of the clerk of the
Criminal District Court for Orleans Parish without the consent of the legislature.
Effective June 15, 2020.
