Final Passage·5/27/26

Louisiana HB177 exempts retired court reporters from a two-year waiting period before being rehired by a governmental entity or agency.

Louisiana HB177 amends existing law to allow retired court reporters to be rehired by the same court or jurisdiction at any time after retirement or leaving employment, without the two-year waiting period that applies to other public employees. This change specifically addresses the prohibition on rehiring within two years of termination for public employees, making an exception for court reporters.
