This bill amends and reenacts specific sections of R.S. 18:59.2 regarding the number of authorized employee positions in the office of a registrar of voters in Louisiana. It updates the source of parish population figures used to determine the maximum number of positions, replacing the previous reliance on Louisiana Tech University population estimates with figures published by the United States Bureau of the Census Federal State Cooperative Program for Population Estimates. Additionally, the bill modifies the population range for the lowest category of authorized positions, changing it from "0 to 30,000" to "0 to 19,000."

Furthermore, the bill repeals R.S. 18:59.2(C) entirely, which previously outlined procedures related to changes in parish population affecting the number of positions. It also clarifies that any increase in positions due to population changes cannot be filled until the necessary salary appropriations are made by both the parish governing authority and the state legislature. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process of determining and managing employee positions in the registrar's office based on updated population data.
