Senate Bill No. by Senator Price amends various sections of the Louisiana State Police Retirement System to clarify definitions and update terminology. Notably, the bill introduces a new definition for "commission," which refers to the State Police Commission as established by the Louisiana Constitution. Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to existing definitions, including the removal of references to the "state civil service system" and "Civil Service Commission," replacing them with the term "commission."

The bill also addresses membership and service credit within the retirement system, specifying that all members, except for the secretary and deputy secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, shall be classified employees under the commission. Furthermore, it outlines how average salary is calculated for retirement benefits, ensuring that it includes additional pay provided by the legislature. The changes are set to take effect on June 30, 2026, unless vetoed by the governor and subsequently approved by the legislature.
