Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 55 - PUBLIC SAFETY › Part XVII - Municipal Police Officers Supplemental Pay › Chapter 9 - Payroll Information › Section XVII-913 - Back Pay Policy

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The Department of
				Public Safety's fiscal year ends on June 30, therefore, Legislative approval is
				required for back supplemental pay beyond July. The Board of Review must
				approve all back supplemental pay, whether or not it extends beyond the current
				fiscal year.
1. Back Pay in Current Fiscal
				Year. The board routinely approves back pay in full from current year funds for
				which the employee is found eligible. This amount will be added to the
				employee's regular supplemental pay amount on the next regular payroll after
				board approval.
2. Back Pay
				Extending Beyond Current Fiscal Year. By Act 110 of the 1982 Legislature, after
				board approval, applications for back pay extending beyond current fiscal year
				must be submitted to the Legislative Budget Committee for final approval before
				payment can be made to the individual.
Note: The board feels that it is the police department's
				  responsibility to submit all necessary forms in time for an employee to begin
				  receiving supplemental pay when he becomes eligible. If the police department
				  is negligent and submits the application late for no apparent reason, then the
				  police department should compensate the employee for any back pay the board
				  denies.

A. Because the
				Department of Public Safety's fiscal year ends on June 30, back supplemental
				pay cannot be paid beyond July without legislative approval. The Board of
				Review must approve all back supplemental pay, whether or not it extends beyond
				the current fiscal year.
1. Back Pay in
				Current Fiscal Year. The board routinely approves back pay in full from current
				year funds for which the employee is found eligible. This amount will be added
				to the employee's regular supplemental pay amount on the next regular payroll
				after board approval.
2. Back Pay
				Extending Beyond Current Fiscal Year. By Act 110 of the 1982 Legislature, after
				board approval, applications for back pay extending beyond current fiscal year

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 55 - PUBLIC SAFETY › Part XXI - Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness › Chapter 7 - Disbursement of Public Resources › Section XXI-703 - Eligibility and Process for Request of Public Resources

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. In the event of an emergency or disaster,
				a local jurisdiction must first utilize its own local resources in response to
				the event. Once a local jurisdiction exhausts all local resources for a
				particular need, the local jurisdiction may request public resources from
				GOHSEP.
B. Public resource requests
				must be submitted through a parish's OHSEP, which is responsible for
				establishing its own procedures for receipt and disbursement of those resources
				throughout the parish. Any municipality or special district within a parish
				must coordinate with the parish OHSEP to request public resources.
C. A parish OHSEP must submit public resource
				requests through GOHSEP's web-based emergency management software. A public
				resource request must include all of the following:
1. a copy of the local parish or municipal
				declaration of emergency, unless previously submitted to GOHSEP;
2. a detailed description of the public
				resource that is being requested;
3. a point of contact with a valid telephone
				number and email address. This point of contact must be a person with knowledge
				of the individual resource request who can answer questions about the request.
				If GOHSEP is unable to communicate with the point of contact listed in the
				public resource request in order to obtain additional information, that request
				will be placed on hold until communication can be established;
4. a valid address to which the public
				resource may be delivered; and
5.
				if the parish OHSEP needs to change the address or point of contact
				information, that change must be made through a comment within the original
				public resource request. Once a change is made, the parish OHSEP must check the
				"significant comment" box to notify GOHSEP of the change.

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 55 - PUBLIC SAFETY › Part XXV - First Responder Best Practices for Administration of Opioid Antagonists › Chapter 1 - Administration of Opioid Antagonists › Section XXV-101 - Purpose and applicability

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A.
				Opioid-related overdose is one of the leading causes of accidental deaths in
				Louisiana. Fatal and nonfatal overdose can result from the abuse of opiates
				such as morphine, heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone as found in OxyContin, Percocet,
				Percodan, and hydrocodone as found in Vicodin. Opioid antagonists, such as
				naloxone, displace the opioid from receptors in the brain and can therefore
				reverse an opiate overdose. It has no euphoric properties and minimal side
				effects. If it is administered to a person who is not suffering an
				opioid-related overdose, it rarely produces any clinical effects. Naloxone has
				been available as an injectable since the 1960s, but was recently developed as
				a nasal spray.
				R.S.
				40:978.1 and
				R.S.
				14:403.11 provide for first responders to
				receive and administer opioid antagonists, provide for immunity from liability,
				and require the promulgation of a set of best practices by the Deputy Secretary
				of Public Safety Services of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections
				for use by a fire department or law enforcement agency in the administration
				and enforcement of those statutes. In accordance with those statutes, these
				guidelines establish a set of best practices for fire departments or law
				enforcement agencies relating to training to safely administer opioid
				antagonists, standards and procedures for storage of opioid antagonists, and
				emergency follow-up procedures.

				product or device to be used by the first responder shall be covered in the
				training;
2. patient assessment in
				order to recognize the signs/symptoms of an opioid-related overdose, which

4. emergency follow-up
				procedures, which may include:
a. calling 911
				if not done prior to the first responders arrival on scene or the
				administration of naloxone or other opioid antagonist.
b. administering a second dose of naloxone or
				other opioid antagonist if the patient does not respond.
c. performing rescue breathing or CPR if
				certified or instructions are provided by a 911 operator or
