RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 190 (HB 72) 2024 Regular Session Jackson
Existing law (R.S. 42:1124, 1124.2, and 1124.3) requires certain elected officials, certain
public servants, and members of certain boards and commissions to file either a Tier 1,
Tier 2, or Tier 3 financial disclosure statement with the Bd. of Ethics. The required filing
tier is determined by the person's office or position.
Existing law (R.S. 18:1495.7) requires any person who becomes a candidate for an office
requiring the filing of a Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 financial disclosure statement to file the
required financial disclosure statement within three business days after the close of
qualifying for that office.
Prior law provided that a candidate satisfied the filing requirement if he had previously filed
the financial disclosure statement for the office for which he was a candidate.
New law instead provides that if the person holds an office or position that requires filing of
the same disclosure required of him as a candidate, such filing as an officeholder satisfies his
filing requirement as a candidate.
Effective August 1, 2024.
