HR 383 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

CIVIL SERVICE/FIRE & POL: Creates a task force to examine the position of fire chief in the fire and police civil service

This resolution establishes a temporary task force to study the role of fire chiefs within Louisiana's fire and police civil service system. The group will examine whether the position should be defined uniformly by state law and determine if it should be a full-time role rather than part-time or volunteer-based. The task force, composed of representatives from legislative committees and various fire and police associations, must submit its findings and recommendations to the House of Representatives by early 2027.
