House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Hilferty, directs the State Civil Service Commission and the Civil Service Commission of the City of New Orleans to disregard Section 2 of Act No. 384 from the 2024 Regular Session of the Legislature. This section mandates the development of a plan to transfer all employees of the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board to the state civil service within one year. The resolution argues that this provision is unrelated to the main content of the bill, which focuses on residency requirements for city employees, and lacks proper indication in the bill's title.
The House of Representatives expresses its intent to work with the Senate to repeal this provision before August 1, 2025, and believes that resources should not be allocated to the implementation of the plan outlined in Act No. 384. The resolution concludes by instructing that copies be sent to the chairs of both civil service commissions to ensure they are informed of this directive.
