This bill amends and reenacts specific sections of R.S. 18:59.2 concerning the number of authorized employee positions in the office of a registrar of voters in Louisiana. It updates the basis for determining the number of positions from the previous Louisiana Tech University population estimates to the parish population estimates 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 maximum number of authorized positions in certain parishes, specifically changing the threshold for the lowest population range from 30,000 to 19,000.

Furthermore, the bill repeals R.S. 18:59.2(C) entirely, which likely contained provisions that are no longer necessary due to the changes made in this legislation. It also clarifies that any increase in positions due to population changes cannot be filled until the necessary funding has been appropriated by both the parish governing authority and the state legislature. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process of determining and funding employee positions in the registrar's office based on updated population data.
