House Bill No. [insert bill number] amends the provisions related to the compensation of the state examiner and deputy state examiner of the municipal fire and police civil service in Louisiana. The bill retains the requirement that both positions must be held by residents and qualified voters of the state with experience in personnel administration, classification, or employment testing in a classified civil service system, and that they serve on a full-time basis. However, it removes the stipulation that the state examiner's position be assigned to the same pay range as the deputy director of state civil service, as well as the requirement that the deputy state examiner's position be assigned to a pay range two levels below that of the deputy director.

The proposed changes aim to provide more flexibility in determining the pay ranges for these positions, allowing the State Civil Service Commission to set salaries without being bound to the previous pay structure. The bill also ensures that both the state examiner and deputy state examiner will continue to receive traveling and living expenses while away from their residences, maintaining the existing provisions for compensation related to their duties.
