Question 14658 — elected officials

Summary

Mr. Nicolas Tryzna draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Planning and Decentralization to the status of local elected officials in order to secure income at the end of the mandate. Law No. 2025-1249 of Monday December 22, 2025 creating a status for local elected officials constitutes an important step forward in recognizing and securing the commitment of local elected officials. It notably improves the conditions for exercising the mandate as well as as support for career paths. However, it only partially responds to a major difficulty encountered by many outgoing mayors and deputies. Indeed, at the end of their mandate, particularly in the event of electoral defeat, certain elected officials may find themselves, overnight, without any income, particularly when they have interrupted their professional activity to devote themselves fully to their duties. In the state of the law, these elected officials are not covered by the unemployment insurance system defined by the labor code, their mandate not being assimilated to salaried employment. Furthermore, if the general code of local authorities provides for a differential allocation at the end of the mandate, this remains conditional, temporary and does not always make it possible to avoid a sudden breakdown in resources. Thus, despite the advances introduced by the law of 22 December 2025, there remains a significant fragility in securing the end of mandate, which appears to be out of step with the very ambition of a real status for local elected officials. In this context, it would seem necessary to supplement this framework by establishing a transitional system guaranteeing partial and decreasing maintenance of job allowances for a limited period, in order to avoid any immediate disruption of income and better support the return to work. Also, he asks him if the Government plans to develop the provisions resulting from the law of December 22, 2025 in order to fill the gaps in terms of income security at the end of the mandate and under what terms.
