This bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 33:2554(C)(4) specifically for the city of Morgan City regarding the certification and appointment process for the police department. It establishes a new procedure for filling vacant positions within the department. If a vacancy cannot be filled through reinstatement or reemployment, the board will certify names from the promotional list in the order they appear.

Additionally, the appointing authority is required to select and appoint an individual from the promotional list who ranks among the top three in departmental seniority for the class of the vacancy. This change aims to streamline the hiring process and ensure that qualified candidates are appointed based on their seniority and performance.
