This bill amends Section 3(B) of Act No. 557 from the 1974 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature, which pertains to the municipal civil service system in the city of Zachary. The amendment specifies the qualifications required for members of the Municipal Employees Civil Service Board. It maintains that board members must be U.S. citizens, residents of Zachary for at least five years prior to their appointment, and qualified registered voters. Additionally, it prohibits board members from being involved in political party committees or holding public office, with exceptions for certain positions like notary public or military officer.

A significant change introduced by this bill is that it allows employees of the city of Zachary to serve as employee members of the board without the requirement of being a resident of the city prior to their election. Instead, these employees must be qualified registered voters in the municipality where they reside at the time of their election. This adjustment aims to broaden the pool of eligible candidates for the board while ensuring that they remain engaged voters in their respective communities.
