Bill > SR205

This resolution requests the Senate Committee on Senate and Governmental Affairs to conduct a comprehensive study of salary structures and total compensation for state and local elected officials and university administrators. Recognizing the importance of adequate compensation, the resolution directs the committee to examine compensation packages not only in Louisiana but also in comparison with other states, with a particular focus on southern states. The committee is tasked with reviewing compensation data from sources like the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Council of State Governments, and must provide a detailed report of its findings and recommendations to the Senate before the 2026 Regular Legislative Session. The underlying goal is to help the legislature make informed decisions about appropriate salary adjustments for these public service roles, ensuring that compensation levels are competitive and fair.
