House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative McMakin, directs the Louisiana Board of Ethics and the legislative auditor to report on the compliance of justices of the peace with campaign finance and financial reporting requirements. Specifically, the resolution mandates the Board of Ethics to compile a report detailing which elected justices of the peace have filed their campaign finance reports for the years 2020 through 2025. This report is to be submitted to the Speaker of the House no later than thirty days before the 2026 Regular Session.

Additionally, the legislative auditor is tasked with reporting on the annual financial reports submitted by justice of the peace courts, as required by state law. This report will indicate which courts have complied with the filing requirements for the same period and is due to the Speaker by February 1, 2026. Both reports must be submitted in print and electronic formats to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring transparency and accountability in the financial practices of these elected officials and their courts.
