§23. Salaries of parish or district health officers; unclassified
Each parish shall determine the salary of its health officer and the necessary expenses for the conduct of his official duties if said health officer is in the unclassified service or serving on a contractual basis. In the case of an unclassified or contractual district health officer, the parishes which jointly employ him shall fix his salary and expenses and the proportionate share of each parish.
The above salaries and expenses shall be paid by the governing bodies of the parish or parishes for which the health officer was appointed, except as herein provided.
Where a parish or group of parishes appoint a full-time health officer whose entire time is devoted to health work as such, exclusive of any private practice, the state may appropriate and assist in paying the salary of that health officer not to exceed twenty percent of the salary if the parish or parishes contract with the Department of Health and Hospitals for the establishment and maintenance of a health unit as hereafter provided.
