House Resolution No. by Representative McMakin directs the Louisiana Board of Ethics and the Louisiana Legislative Auditor to provide reports regarding the financial disclosures of justices of the peace and the financial statements of justice of the peace courts. The resolution emphasizes the importance of compliance with financial disclosure requirements, as justices of the peace are elected officials mandated to file annual financial disclosure statements with the Board of Ethics, while justice of the peace courts must submit annual financial reports to the Legislative Auditor.

The resolution mandates that the Board of Ethics report on the filings of all elected justices of the peace from 2020 to 2025, identifying those who have and have not complied with the filing requirements. This report is to be submitted to the House Committee on Judiciary no later than thirty days before the start of the 2026 Regular Session. Additionally, the Legislative Auditor is tasked with reporting on the compliance of justice of the peace courts with their financial reporting obligations, with a deadline of February 1, 2026, for submission to the same committee. Both entities are required to provide a print and electronic copy of their reports to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library.
