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 Senate Committee is tasked with examining all aspects of compensation for these officials, utilizing resources such as studies from the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Council of State Governments. The findings and recommendations from this study are to be reported to the Senate before the start of the 2026 Regular Session of the Legislature of Louisiana.
