HB 660 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS/ASST: Provides for an increase in the dollar amount in warrants to provide for the salaries of assistant district attorneys (RE +$7,572,420 GF EX See Note)

HB 660 increases the state-paid annual salary for assistant district attorneys in Louisiana to $50,500 starting July 1, 2026. It directly affects all assistant district attorneys whose salaries are funded by the state (not local parishes), including those in Orleans Parish. The bill specifies exact salary amounts on set dates (e.g., $50,000 effective 2021, $50,500 effective 2026) and requires separate state appropriations to fund these increases. This is a concrete salary adjustment with no new program or policy beyond the specified pay rates.
