This bill enacts R.S. 33:2476.7, which pertains to the Baton Rouge municipal fire and police civil service board, specifically addressing the role of the board secretary. It allows the board to fill the secretary position with unclassified personnel deemed qualified, despite existing provisions that may restrict this practice. The bill stipulates that the secretary will receive compensation and benefits comparable to other full-time personnel in similar roles and emphasizes that the secretary is accountable solely to the board, serving at its discretion.

The new legal language clarifies the qualifications, salary, and benefits for the secretary, ensuring that the position aligns with the standards of similar job functions within the municipal framework. This change aims to enhance the operational flexibility of the Baton Rouge municipal fire and police civil service board in managing its personnel while maintaining accountability and appropriate compensation for the secretary's role.
