Louisiana HB177 exempts retired court reporters from a two-year waiting period before rehiring by the same court or jurisdiction.

Louisiana HB177 modifies existing law to allow retired court reporters to be rehired by the same court or jurisdiction without the usual two-year waiting period. This change applies to court reporters who have retired or left their employment in any judicial district court or city court. The bill adds a new provision to R.S. 42:1121(K) to explicitly permit this rehiring.
