House Bill No. by Representative Freiberg amends R.S. 40:1667.1(A)(2)(a) to prohibit law enforcement officers employed by public postsecondary education institutions from receiving state supplemental pay. The bill retains the existing provision that allows sworn, commissioned law enforcement officers employed full-time by bona fide police agencies in Louisiana, specifically those headquartered in New Orleans or Lake Charles, to receive an additional $600 per month in supplemental pay, provided they meet certain eligibility criteria.

The proposed law explicitly states that the supplemental pay provisions do not apply to law enforcement officers employed by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, or public postsecondary education institutions. This change aims to clarify the eligibility for state supplemental pay while maintaining the existing benefits for other law enforcement officers. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action.
