Two bills Alexandria-related bills among four that ruffled some feathers are now law and two await the governor’s signature as the Legislature winds down its regular annual session.

The bills were drafted at the city’s request though some council members were not directly informed, nor are they required to be.

Rep. Jason DeWitt’s measure relative to use of City Court revenue for clerks’ compensation is Act 74 of this year.

Sen. Jay Luneau’s measure exempting certain proprietary information from public record access is Act 31.

Both become effective August 1.

Awaiting Governor Jeff Landry’s signature are bills by DeWitt and by Rep. Mike Johnson.

Johnson’s, sent to Landry on June 3 after final passage, exempts from Alexandria Civil Service employees in computer, IT and related systems security jobs, a wrinkle considered necessary in the competitive market for such skills.

DeWitt’s deals with classified police appointments.

It provides for vacancies to be filled by one of the five eligible officers highest in department seniority.
