House Resolution No. 25RS-1245, introduced by Representative McMakin, directs the Louisiana Board of Ethics and the Louisiana Legislative Auditor to provide reports regarding the compliance of justices of the peace with campaign finance and financial reporting requirements. Specifically, the resolution mandates that the Board of Ethics report on the campaign finance reports filed by elected justices of the peace for the years 2020 through 2025, identifying those who have and have not filed their reports. This report is to be submitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives no later than thirty days before the start of the 2026 Regular Session.

Additionally, the resolution requires the Legislative Auditor to report on the annual financial reports submitted by justice of the peace courts for the same period, indicating which courts have complied with the reporting requirements as stipulated in R.S. 24:513(J). This report is also due to the Speaker of the House by February 1, 2026. Both the Board of Ethics and the Legislative Auditor are instructed to provide one print and one electronic copy of their reports to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring transparency and accountability in the financial practices of justices of the peace and their courts.
