Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 13, § 5521. Compensation

B. In addition to the above salary, each individual sheriff shall be granted ten percent of his annual compensation as an expense allowance.

C. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit a sheriff from participation in an eligible deferred compensation program established in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 457. A sheriff shall not authorize or receive an employer contribution that would be more favorable than that offered to the employees of the sheriff's office.

D. In addition to all other forms of compensation which are authorized for sheriffs under the provisions of this Section, effective on July 1, 1999, the annual compensation of each sheriff shall be increased by twelve thousand dollars.

E. The compensation set forth in this Section shall not be changed by amendment to this Section, or by other Act regardless of whether it amends this Section, unless notice of intention to introduce the proposal has been published on two separate days without cost to the state in the official journal for the parish wherein the office is located. If the proposal would change the compensation of all sheriffs in the state, publication shall also be made in the official journal of the state. The last day of publication shall be at least thirty days prior to introduction of the bill. The notice shall state the amount of the change, the bill shall contain a recital that the notice has been given, and certification of such publication shall be attached to the bill.
