Question 16431 — territorial civil service

Summary

Ms. Pauline Cestrières draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the first effects of Law No. 2023-1380 of December 30, 2023 aimed at upgrading the profession of town hall secretary. This law constituted an expected step forward for the recognition of a function essential to the daily functioning of municipalities, particularly in rural areas. In particular, it established a specific seniority advantage, created new avenues for internal promotion and put in place a temporary requalification system allowing certain agents to more easily access category B. However, while this requalification plan remains open until December 31, 2027, numerous reports from the field are already raising questions about the concrete effects of the reform in terms of remuneration and the attractiveness of the profession. If some agents have been able to benefit from a statutory change, the changes in remuneration actually observed sometimes remain limited, giving rise to a feeling of incomprehension with regard to the responsibilities exercised. However, town hall secretaries very often constitute, in small municipalities, the main administrative, budgetary, financial and legal support for local elected officials. In a context of increasing complexity of standards, recruitment tensions and the aging of the workforce, the recognition of this function represents a major challenge for the continuity of the local public service. She therefore asks what initial assessment the Government draws from the implementation of the law of December 30, 2023, how many agents have actually benefited to date from the promotion and requalification measures that it has established, if it has a first evaluation of the changes in remuneration observed since its entry into force and what measures it intends to take in order to sustainably strengthen the attractiveness and recognition of the function of town hall secretary general.
