This bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 33:2494(C)(6) specifically for the city of Kenner regarding the certification and appointment process for the police department. It establishes a procedure for filling vacant positions when reinstatement or reemployment options are not available. In such cases, the board will certify names from the promotional list in the order they appear, and the appointing authority must select a candidate from this list who is among the three highest in departmental seniority.

The new legal language clarifies the steps to be taken in the event of a vacancy, ensuring a structured approach to appointments within the police department. This change aims to streamline the hiring process and maintain a fair selection based on seniority and merit.
