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 classified police service. It establishes a procedure for filling vacant positions within the police department when reinstatement or reemployment options are not available. The board is required to certify the names of individuals on the promotional list in the order they appear, and the appointing authority must select from those certified individuals, specifically choosing someone who ranks among the top three in departmental seniority for the class in which the vacancy exists.

The new language clarifies the process for filling vacancies and emphasizes the importance of seniority in the selection process, ensuring that the most experienced candidates are prioritized. This change aims to streamline the appointment process while maintaining a focus on qualified personnel within the police department.
