House Bill No. by Representative Bryant proposes an amendment to R.S. 42:162(A) regarding the recordation of oaths or affirmations for public officials. The bill stipulates that the oath or affirmation of all state officers, as well as parish officers, shall be recorded at no charge to the elected or appointed official. This change aims to alleviate any financial burden associated with the recordation process for public officials.

The current law allows for the administration of oaths by various officials and mandates that these oaths be recorded by the secretary of state and the clerk of court. However, the existing provisions include fees for filing and recording documents. The proposed amendment eliminates these charges, ensuring that public officials can have their oaths recorded without incurring any costs.
