LAW ENFORCEMENT: Provides relative to the authority of a marshal to issue commissions to deputy marshals

Summary

The law revises Louisiana statutes to specify the authority of city or ward marshals and their deputies, especially in towns with 40,000 residents or fewer. It grants them limited law‑enforcement powers for civil processes, court contempt, and certain violations, while prohibiting broader police functions unless a local ordinance expands them. The changes aim to clarify duties, provide liability immunity, and ensure coordination with other law‑enforcement agencies.
