Senate Resolution No. by Senator Luneau requests the Senate Committee on Senate and Governmental Affairs to conduct a comprehensive study of the salary structure and total compensation 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 legislature currently establishes compensation for various elected offices, and the findings from this study are expected to inform potential adjustments to these salary structures.

The resolution mandates that the Senate Committee thoroughly examine all aspects of compensation for the specified officials and review relevant comparative data, including studies from organizations like the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Council of State Governments. The Committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Senate before the start of the 2026 Regular Session of the Legislature of Louisiana, ensuring that the issue of compensation is addressed in a timely manner.
