House Bill No. by Representative Egan proposes an amendment to R.S. 16:11(A)(1) to increase the annual salary of assistant district attorneys in Louisiana. Currently, the salary is set at $50,000, effective July 1, 2021. The bill introduces a new salary increase, fixing the annual salary at $50,500, effective July 1, 2026. This increase is contingent upon an appropriation for that purpose.

The bill aims to ensure that assistant district attorneys receive a modest salary increase to reflect their ongoing contributions to the legal system. The proposed change is part of a series of scheduled salary adjustments that have been established in previous amendments, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing the compensation of legal professionals in the state.
