Senate Bill No. 1732, introduced by Senator Carter, aims to amend the Municipal Employees' Retirement System of Louisiana by adding a new category of employer participation. Specifically, the bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 11:1732(14)(a)(xiv) that allows marshals or constables of city courts to participate in the retirement system, provided they are not already eligible for membership in any other local, state, or statewide retirement system. This inclusion is intended to expand retirement benefits for these officials, recognizing their service within the municipal framework.

The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signatures. If the governor vetoes the bill but it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval. This legislative change reflects a commitment to enhancing the retirement options available to municipal employees in Louisiana.
