HB258

Provides for exceptions to the dual officeholding laws for volunteer firefighters and judicial branch employees

Complete·6/9/26

Louisiana HB258 allows exceptions to dual officeholding laws for volunteer firefighters and judicial branch employees.

Louisiana HB258 modifies existing laws to provide exceptions to dual officeholding and employment restrictions. Volunteer firefighters and members of volunteer fire departments can now hold other offices or employments without restriction. Judicial branch employees, including judges ad hoc or pro tempore, can also hold part-time appointive offices in other branches. These exceptions aim to prevent conflicts of interest and maintain public trust in government.
