This bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 40:1666.5(C) concerning the Fireman's Supplemental Pay Board in Louisiana. The key change stipulates that only individuals who receive state supplemental pay as outlined in R.S. 40:1666.1 are eligible to serve on the board. This aims to ensure that board members have a direct stake in the supplemental pay system they oversee.

The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2028, unless it is vetoed by the governor and subsequently approved by the legislature, in which case it will become effective on the later of the two dates. This legislative change is intended to enhance the qualifications for board membership, thereby potentially improving the governance of the Fireman's Supplemental Pay Board.
