AI Summary

This bill amends several sections of Louisiana law to increase the amount of supplemental pay for eligible law enforcement officers and firefighters. The bill increases the monthly supplemental pay from $500 to $750 for qualified full-time fire department employees, police officers, deputy sheriffs, harbor police, fireboat personnel, and bridge police officers who have completed at least one year of service. The bill also requires that certain law enforcement officers hired after March 31, 1986, have completed and passed a council-certified training program to be eligible for the supplemental pay. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2018, or upon approval by the legislature if vetoed by the governor.
