House Bill No. by Representative McMakin aims to enhance transparency in the hiring process for unclassified state civil service positions in Louisiana. The bill enacts R.S. 42:375.1, which mandates that the Department of State Civil Service include the salary or salary range in job announcements for vacant unclassified positions. This requirement is intended to provide potential applicants with clear information regarding compensation before they apply.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if an applicant is rejected for a vacant unclassified position, the Department of State Civil Service must notify the individual of their rejection. This provision is designed to ensure that applicants are informed about the status of their applications, promoting a more transparent and communicative hiring process.
