House Bill No. by Representative Zeringue amends the Louisiana Code of Ethics by repealing the population limitation that previously restricted the employment of former school board members as certified classroom teachers or certified school psychologists by their former school boards. Specifically, the bill repeals R.S. 42:1123(31)(c), which allowed these exceptions only in parishes with populations not exceeding 36,000.

The proposed law retains the existing provisions that prohibit former board members from contracting with or being employed by their former boards for two years after leaving public service, while expanding the exceptions to include all former school board members, regardless of the population of their parish. This change aims to provide greater employment opportunities for former school board members in educational roles within their previous districts.
