Louisiana SB454 revises the allocation of assistant district attorney positions based on the population of each judicial district. It sets specific numbers for each district and the parish of Orleans, with additional positions required for larger populations.

Exceptions are made for reallocating existing positions without increasing the total number statewide. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026.
