HB530

Louisiana HB530 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing local ethics entities to audit or investigate certain parish officials and school boards.

HB530 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow a home rule charter or other plan of government to authorize a local ethics entity to audit or investigate a school board or the offices of district attorney, sheriff, assessor, clerk of a district court, or coroner. The amendment also clarifies that the legislature is not prohibited from enacting laws related to local ethics entities. This proposal seeks to modify the current constitution, which restricts changes to the structure and organization of local governmental subdivisions operating under a home rule charter.
