This bill amends R.S. 13:2079.1 to provide specific provisions regarding the Ward Three marshal of the city court of Lake Charles. It allows the marshal to deposit a portion of his salary, derived from civil fees and costs, into a special account controlled by him. The funds from this account can be used to supplement the salaries of deputy marshals, which can now also include compensation from community policing, as well as to cover operational expenses necessary for the proper functioning of the marshal's office.

Additionally, the bill removes a reference to R.S. 33:1704 and replaces it with R.S. 13:5807, ensuring that the legal framework for the marshal's salary and the associated fees is updated. It also stipulates that each deputy marshal is responsible for any additional payroll taxes resulting from the supplemental salary, while ensuring that no deputy marshal's salary can exceed that of the Ward Three marshal.
