This bill amends R.S. 16:11(A)(2) to allow district attorneys across all judicial districts in Louisiana to reallocate the total salary amount fixed for assistant district attorneys. Previously, the law restricted this reallocation to specific districts, namely the parish of Orleans and the Nineteenth, Twenty-Third, and Thirty-Second Judicial Districts. The new language enables all district attorneys to combine or divide the salary amounts as they see fit to pay their assistant district attorneys, providing them with greater flexibility in managing their budgets.

Additionally, the bill removes certain provisions that previously limited the reallocation process and clarifies that all district attorneys must certify the annual salary amounts payable to their assistant district attorneys to the state treasurer. This change aims to streamline the process and ensure that district attorneys have the authority to allocate resources in a manner that best suits their operational needs.
