RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 158 (HB 268) 2023 Regular Session Farnum
Existing law provides relative to salaries of members of fire departments. Requires payment
of a minimum monthly salary based on the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Further
requires an annual 2% increase in salary for fire department members with at least three but
not more than 20 years of service. Requires use of base pay and previous required increases
in computing increases.
Existing law, applicable to members of the Sulphur police department, requires a similar
annual salary increase except that the requirement also applies to members with more than
20 years of experience and state supplemental pay is also included in computing increases.
New law provides that the salary increase requirements for the Sulphur fire department are
the same as those required by existing law for the Sulphur police department; specifically
that the required 2% annual increase also applies to employees with more than 20 years of
service and that state supplemental pay is also included in computing increases.
Effective August 1, 2023.
