This bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 33:385.1(B)(3) specifically for the village of Tickfaw regarding the qualifications for the office of police chief. It stipulates that, notwithstanding previous qualifications, an elected chief of police must reside within the corporate limits of the village. Additionally, the candidate must have been domiciled in the village for at least one year immediately prior to qualifying for the office.

The introduction of this legislation aims to ensure that the police chief has a strong connection to the community they serve, thereby enhancing accountability and local governance. This change reflects a commitment to local representation and the importance of community ties in law enforcement leadership.
