House Resolution No. by Representative Brass urges the legislative auditor to conduct a comprehensive study of the salaries and compensation structures 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, and notes that their compensation is set by statute, which has become increasingly complex and lacks transparency. Legislators have expressed a desire to achieve parity in compensation between these two groups, but the absence of a clear baseline for comparison has hindered their efforts.

The resolution outlines specific components that the legislative auditor should include in the study, such as analyzing how salaries are derived, determining compensation in relation to assessed property values, and evaluating performance metrics for clerks of court. Additionally, it calls for recommendations to ensure equitable compensation, establish a uniform timetable for future increases, and enhance transparency in compensation laws. The findings and recommendations from this study are to be reported to the House of Representatives and the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library at least sixty days before the 2027 Regular Session.
