House Bill No. by Representative Illg proposes amendments to the classified police service in the city of Harahan, specifically regarding the process for filling vacancies within the police department. The bill enacts R.S. 33:2554(C)(6), which introduces a new method for appointing individuals to vacant positions. If a vacancy cannot be filled through reinstatement or reemployment, the board will certify names from the promotional list in order of appearance. The appointing authority is then required to select a candidate from this list who ranks among the top three in departmental seniority.

This proposed law retains existing provisions of the fire and police civil service system while adding an exception specifically for Harahan. It modifies the current requirement that vacancies be filled by the individual with the greatest departmental seniority, allowing for a more flexible selection process that considers the top three candidates. This change aims to enhance the appointment process within the city's police department, ensuring that qualified individuals are selected for vacant positions.
