The House Resolution requests the House Committee on House and Governmental Affairs to conduct a comprehensive study of the salary structures for all state and local elected officials and university administrators in Louisiana. The resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring that these officials are adequately compensated and suggests that a comparative analysis with similar positions in other states, particularly southern states, would be beneficial. The study will include a thorough examination of existing compensation and will utilize resources such as reports from the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Council of State Governments.
Furthermore, the resolution mandates that the House Committee report its findings and recommendations to the House of Representatives before the start of the 2026 Regular Session. This initiative aims to provide the legislature with informed recommendations for potential adjustments to salary structures, ensuring that compensation for elected officials and university administrators is fair and competitive.
