DISTRICT ATTORNEYS/ASST: Provides relative to the number of assistant district attorneys in each judicial district (EN +$3,411,000 GF EX See Note)

Failed 40–49Crossed party lines

What it does: Raises the number of assistant district attorneys in 30 judicial districts, for example from 55 to 71 in the 19th, and cuts Orleans Parish from 83 to 73. Increases take effect only when funded, and some also need a state commission's recommendation. (AI-written summary of the bill; the official record shows the exact version voted)
