# Defaulters not to hold office

Any person who at any time has been a collector of state, parish or municipal taxes or otherwise entrusted with public money, is ineligible to be a member of the Legislature, or to hold any office of profit or trust under the state government until he has obtained a discharge for the amount of the collections, and for all the public money with which he was entrusted.
