House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Brass urges the legislative auditor to conduct a comprehensive study of the salaries and compensation for parish assessors and clerks of court in Louisiana. The resolution highlights the essential roles these officials play in the state's property tax system and judicial functions, respectively. It points out that their compensation is set by statute but has become complex and lacks transparency, making it difficult for legislators to ensure fair remuneration. The study aims to analyze how salaries are derived, assess the relationship between compensation and the assessed value of taxable property, and evaluate performance metrics for clerks of court.

The resolution also calls for recommendations to achieve parity in compensation between assessors and clerks of court and to enhance transparency in the laws governing their remuneration. The legislative auditor is instructed to engage with relevant associations and stakeholders during the study and to report findings and recommendations to the legislature and the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library at least sixty days before the 2027 Regular Session.
