House Resolution No. by Representative Horton authorizes the Louisiana legislative auditor to conduct a thorough examination, investigation, and audit of the firemen's supplemental pay program. This action follows a performance audit report issued on February 1, 2024, which revealed that the Fireman's Supplemental Pay Board improperly approved state supplemental pay for various non-firefighter positions, such as communications officers and mechanics, in violation of state law. The resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring compliance with constitutional and statutory provisions to protect the state's finances.

The resolution further directs the legislative auditor to specifically review payments made to eligible individuals under R.S. 40:1666.1, focusing on fire departments of varying sizes. The auditor is tasked with determining whether these payments are being made in accordance with the law and is required to submit a written report of findings and recommendations to the House Committee on Appropriations by February 1, 2026. Additionally, copies of the resolution and any resulting reports will be distributed to relevant parties, including the Firemen's Supplemental Pay Board and the Department of Public Safety.
