Committee approves local bill renaming Acadia Parish administrative position to 'parish administrator'
Summary
The committee reported favorably on HB 40, a locally requested measure to change the job title of Acadia Parish's secretary-treasurer to 'parish administrator' and to modify the term of the office.
House Bill 40, a local bill requested by the police jury of Acadia Parish, was reported favorably by the Senate Committee on Local and Municipal Affairs on May 14.
Representative Chance Henry told the committee the bill changes the title of the parish administrative officer from "secretary-treasurer" to "parish administrator" to better reflect the job and adjusts the term of the office. The author said the request came from the local police jury.
Senator Boudreau indicated the police jury had signed off on the change and moved to report the bill favorably. The motion carried with no recorded objections during the hearing.
The committee record does not specify the new term length in the committee discussion; those details appear in the bill text.
