Digest of the bill as proposed by the Conference Committee
Present law requires that every sworn, commissioned law enforcement officer employed on a
full-time basis by a bona fide police agency of the state or its political subdivisions, other than the
Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections and the Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries, and headquartered
in the city of New Orleans, who serves the welfare of the public in the capacity of a police officer
by providing police services while patrolling levees, waterways, and riverfront areas, or while
patrolling bridges that are within the boundaries of the city of New Orleans, be paid by the state extra
compensation in the amount of $600 per month in addition to the compensation now paid to him by
his employer.
Proposed law retains present law and adds law enforcement agencies headquartered in the city of
Lake Charles that patrol levees, waterways, and riverfront areas, or patrol bridges to the list of
eligible agencies to receive monthly supplemental pay of $600.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action. (Amends R.S. 40:1667.1(A)(2)(a))
