House Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to repeal Section 2 of Act No. 384 from the 2024 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature, which mandated the State Civil Service Commission and the Civil Service Commission of the City of New Orleans to create a plan for transferring employees of the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board to the state civil service. The bill effectively nullifies the requirement for these commissions to develop and implement such a transfer plan, thereby allowing the current employment structure of the board to remain unchanged.
The proposed law will take effect either upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for gubernatorial action has elapsed, as outlined in Article III, Section 18 of the Louisiana Constitution. If the bill is vetoed by the governor but later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
