House Bill No. by Representative Bryant amends R.S. 42:162(A) to eliminate any charges associated with the recordation of oaths or affirmations of office for public officials in Louisiana. The bill specifies that the oaths or affirmations, which can be administered by various officials such as the governor or judges, must be recorded by the secretary of state and the clerk of court at no cost to the elected or appointed officials.

The key changes in the law include the insertion of language that explicitly states the recording of these oaths or affirmations shall be done "at no charge to the elected or appointed official." This amendment aims to alleviate any financial burden on public officials regarding the administrative process of recording their oaths or affirmations.
