1Opinion of the Court

Dear Mr. Hollier:

You ask this office to advise whether the legislature is authorized to enact a statute which changes the manner of selection of the members of the City of Opelousas Municipal Civil Service Board (the Board), as provided for in the 1974 Constitution. Certain members of the current Board were appointed pursuant to La.R.S. 33:2587, as more fully explained below.

In essence, you seek our legal opinion regarding the constitutionality of La.R.S. 33:2587. Please be advised that this office rarely issues legal opinions addressing the constitutionality of a statute, other than to state…
