Establishes annual evaluations for the Baton Rouge police chief by the mayor-president.
Louisiana HB832 mandates that the Baton Rouge police chief be evaluated by the mayor-president three years after their initial appointment and annually thereafter. The mayor-president can either reconfirm the chief for another year or demote them to their previous position. This demotion does not count as corrective or disciplinary action, and the chief has no appeal rights regarding this action. The bill ensures the mayor-president retains authority over the police chief's term and evaluation.
