LA HB1038

Marshals may appoint credentialed deputy marshals with the same powers and authority, subject to approval from the local governing authority where the marshal has territorial jurisdiction

Local governing authorities must provide insurance for any approved deputy marshal

Local governing authorities must notify their respective marshal at the beginning of each fiscal year regarding the maximum number of deputy marshal commissions that may be issued

When a marshal's jurisdiction extends into a ward, the governing authority with the greater population (per the most recent federal census) has decision-making authority over the maximum allowable commissions

Deputy marshal compensation is fixed and paid by local governing authorities, with the marshal able to supplement salaries using office funds including criminal court costs, though no deputy's salary may exceed the city marshal's salary
