House Bill No. by Representative Bryant amends R.S. 42:162(A) to eliminate charges associated with the recordation of oaths or affirmations of office for public officials. 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 without any fees imposed on the elected or appointed officials.

The revised language ensures that both state and parish officers can have their oaths recorded at no cost, promoting accessibility and reducing financial barriers for public officials. This change aims to streamline the process of recording oaths and affirmations, thereby enhancing the efficiency of public service administration in Louisiana.
